    Hey guys,
    New member here, just bought a 2013 and I was taking off the center console and there appears to be a small hydrologic double arm of some kind that is leaking fluid..
    Wondering if anyone knows what these hydrologics do and what could be done about this.
    Pictures available.
    Thanks.

    Looks to be your parking brake cables. And the fluid looks to be some old coffee or soda

    I agree.
    Those 2 cables should be connected to a threaded rod/ cable.
    The rod will have a nut on it. The nut it what you turn to adjust the E-Brake cables.

    I believe the 3rd cable in the picture is for the Automatic Transmission.

    I am going to go with a spilled drink also.

    It's 100% previous owner related, you'll probably find old staining under the side of the console.

    Why were you removing the console?

    My vote is also for some kind of spilled fluid. A beverage of something probably.

    I spend lots of time working on a particular forklift that some genius designed with a cup holder. Under it and all around it I find what you have, coffee and sugar. Cola dries to a less dark color.

    Lol, I remember the days of working at a lumber yard.

    The new guy was always told to “check the air in the tires”. :D
