P6s have a double wall construction down in the footwell. If the
pushrod seal is leaking and the inner bulkhead seal that the pushrod
goes through is good, fluid can leak out and fill the inner cavity
without any clues.
That said, the inner bulkhead seal is rarely in good shape, and fluid
runs down the rod and drips off the pedal, making a wet spot on the
carpet.
