CarBuff's post in Rear bulkhead bodge was marked as the answer
Originally there WAS a flat plate on the bulkhead. Requires periodic tightening.
Other body-to-chassis hardware that needs the same periodic maintenance are: (See # 1, 5, and 9 in the pic )
The bolts in the frunk (forward boot). Some are horizontal, and there are two vertical ones that are captured under the footrests (you can 'feel' the heads under the carpet).
The horizontal bolts in the rear boot, just aft of the engine wall. (Sometimes you can hear a clunk or snap if the body's glassfibre cracks on these. There are topics here regards repair)

No details about accessing the code provided, though.

The pic is fine.☺️ And helpful.
I found the complete manual by Googling for Eclipse CD5423 manual PDF
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjKqrnD_7z7AhV_j4kEHYARBEAQFnoECBAQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eclipse-web.com%2Fus%2Fdownload%2Fmanual%2Fmanual%2Fpdf%2FCD5423(1-1440A).pdf&usg=AOvVaw1BU5s2YjE0NM6ezMY3RVJi
there are a few other aftermarket sources if that doesn't work.
Installation instructions start on page 88 of 96. If you can't access, DM me I'll provide screenshots.

CarBuff's post in Tire pressure? GT3 running 350 OZ Magnesio 5 spokes was marked as the answer
My research said the pressures you found are correct, even for a 1994 S4/S4s. (29PSI/2.0 BAR Front, 31PSI/2.1 BAR rear.)
Those are the pressures I have been running since fitting our Esprit with larger wheels due to tyre availability.
Beware of lowering the front pressures, you definitely don't want to bend those Magnesio wheels! 🙄

CarBuff's post in 92 SE leaking out of front body was marked as the answer
You said it isn't water, but BE SURE that it isn't from a clogged headlamp bucket, full of water.
They hold a LOT.
(To be safe) unplug the pod motors and manually crank the pods up, with the knobs provided.
If you see even a trace of moisture or debris, clear the drain holes with a pipe-cleaner or a long zip-tie. Usually easier to release the linkages so that the pods can be pulled up, fully.

CarBuff's post in Seating of washer on Engine Mounts -hot side was marked as the answer
The LF mount on our '88 TE has looked like your second pic for many years, no issues.
Now, if you had an S1 or S2 without rear upper control arms, I'd worry. <<DUCKS>>
