Why does brown fluid leak from the soleplate of my Braun CareStyle 5 Iron?
The brown fluid leaking from the soleplate of your Braun Iron is likely due to chemical water softeners or additives that have been poured into the water tank boiler. To resolve this, never pour such products into the water tank. Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth and rinse the boiler.
What to do if there are water drops from the holes in the bottom of the soleplate of my Braun Iron?

Press the steam button several times away from the ironing board to eliminate the cold water from the steam circuit.
