ROOF CYLINDER LEAK DRIVER'S SIDE C PILLAR
Every now and then when I left my roof down, there's a tiny droplet of hydraulic fluid on the interior trim perpendicular to the rectangular flap on my driver's
side by the C pillar. I know there are at least three cylinders in that area - do I have to take the roof apart to find the culprit cylinder that's
possibly leaking? Any advice would be appreciated.

It is on the right side of the flap. I cycled the roof the next day and there was no drop of fluid. I also noticed there was a light streak of oil
on the back window rubber seal on the left side. So I know there is a leak somewhere.
