I was running errands at the hardware supply store today after putting the top up on my V8V and thought someone had sprayed my shirt with oil?! I returned to the car to find that the oil on my shirt was all over the drivers side seat belt.

After lowering the top to find what on the earth could be spraying fluid into the seat belt, I noticed that the hydraulic lines have a clear shot right to it. There is one line that is cracked and visibly leaking when moving the top. I'm posting pics to see if anyone else has seen anything like this before.

The line travels down the frame into the recesses of the car so I'm not even considering the repair myself. What I'm curious of is if this is a common occurrence and what I can expect to pay for repairs. I will try to get it in to the AM dealer this coming week. I think I'm already going through withdrawals knowing I'm going to be without it.
