98 gt convertible trouble

Welcome to Stangnet.
It could possibly be hydrolic fluid coming from your
convertible top motor.The convertible top motors are
known to fail sometimes or leak.
Where is the leaking coming from??
 
I have a 98 also. Mine is coming in through the bottom corners of the rear window. You can put some black window silicone to "glue" the window back together for a temp fix. But eventually (which I need to do) is just have a whole new top put on.

Or just let it go, and it seems to drain somewhere. Just let it air out every so often.
