Yes, I had the Pentosin leak but very mildly. It took me a while to trace it, it looked like it was coming from the pump and various other places but come to find out it was coming from the hoses right where they connect to the reservoir. It seems they were clamped with some kind of pressure clamp and I guess die to time and rubber constriction they were loose. I took the reservoir off (first I drained it of course) cut about half an inch off the hose (I made sure I had enough hose) and then re-attached with clamps that I could tighten myself. I used two clamps per hose.  An old tech told me once to trace leaks from the highest and most forward point in the car, I trust this helps.
Good luck,
Tomas
