From this description, it makes me think that the leak may be from the hydraulic cylinder nearby to the location of the dripping fluid. An easy check is to look at the level of fluid in the system at the pump in the trunk to see if it's at the full mark, and/or, with someone watching the point of leak, put the top up and down a couple times. If the leaking speeds up, then it's the cylinders.
