... the one time I got a big puddle was after I overfilled the system
because I didn't know I had to relieve pressure from the bomb before
checking ... you haven't added Dexron to the reservoir lately by any chance?
If not, yet you are pretty sure it is coming from the reservoir, one
possibility is that the reed valves in the pump have failed and you are
getting foaming in the fluid.  The pressure switches are a very common
source of leaks as well.  

On my car I've got a bit of a leak from the brake booster, but that leak
goes into the passenger compartment.
