Is that extra wetting at the return lines to the reservoir? I'd think that
all the high pressure parts of the system would leak around town as much as
at sustained high pressure. But the low pressure lines back to the
reservoir might only ooze extra amounts with highway travel. I found I
could cut a reservoir nipple's length off both the line from the brake
booster and the one from the rack and still reconnect and clamp down with
the hose clamps. Dried up both those locations for a while.
