An A319 flight attendant reported seeing an unidentified liquid seeping into the first class carpet ...

Narrative:

On descent all this liquid starting pouring out from behind the carts on an A319. I had no idea what it was. I pulled out all the carts to try to see where it was coming from. I was very concerned because it was so bad it seeped into the carpet in first class. It was past sterile cockpit so I decided to wait until we parked at the gate to tell the cockpit. When they opened the door I tried to show them but they couldn't be bothered and seemed to be more interested in getting to their layover. During the flight I called up a write up because the circuit breaker for the coffee maker popped out. When maintenance came on board I showed them and we discovered that it had even seeped behind the wall of the galley into the cockpit. Maintenance said that indeed it could have caused some sort of electrical problem.
