Well, your gonna hafta go in and investigate. If you have a leak it'll probably be a line or the master cylinder itself.

Are you sure it's brake fluid? How's the level in the reservior? It could very possibly be by the way.

Agreed, there should be no cardboard, fiberboard, or any other wood/paper product in, or around that area.
