Hmm.  Car stayed level when leaking and not?  If nose up without the
MCB, a collection of fluid in the tunnel or the front frame fork
might stay there.

I had fluid leak through the rear of an MBC once in very cold
weather (hardened seals, and internal corrosion, which yours
shouldn't have, but who did the reconditioning?).  The first I knew
it was leaking from the drain pipe at the back of the tunnel! Took
quite a while for the fluid to stop appearing.
The rubber boot on the rear of the MBC has a small drain hole at the
bottom.  Is it moist?

Leaks from the rear pipe could only be within the front bulkhead, or
you would see it easily on the floor.
