The rear seal on the master cylinder has gone hard and is leaking into the
tunnel.  I have had this twice in 25 years, so it's quite common.  Jim Adney
says that seal is in a BMW(?) overhaul kit, but I don't know if he can say which
one.  If you are replacing it anyway, there should be no problem.
The new master cylinder may need one brake pipe changed if it has two outlets on
the same side for the front circuit.
