Brake Fluid Problems of Jaguar XK8

I was inside my vehicle (2000jaguarxk8) I was attempted to lower the convertible top down. The hydraulic lines which feed the motor failed and hydraulic fluid (3-4oz's) poured out from the top where the light console is in the headliner of the car onto me. Smoke came out of the light console as it was shorted out. I am reporting this safety hazard since hydraulic fluid is flammable and I am just lucky, that a fire did not start and I was not smoking at the time. I took the car to the dealership which was aware and had heard of this happening to others. They were able to replace these lines. I do not have the old parts.
