Fluid Leak on Firewall

I have a leak coming down the firewall on the driver side and runs back toward the middle of the car. It is milky brown to clear, very slow and appears to be coming from near the brake booster. I have checked the brake fluid level and it is at the max line. I assume I have a brake fluid leak back there, but where?

Take a close look at the base of your brake fluid reservoir. There are two rubber grommets into which the bowl recesses. Those grommets eventually get hard and may allow brake fluid to leak by.
