I recognize that piece from under the plug. I wondered what it was for. Will double-check. Also, before I do any more speculating, I am going to crawl under there and inspect things for myself. It could've been a couple of other things that would cause pressure loss, including just low fluid (and where it's going is probably underneath the cover around the plunger rod) or it could've even blown a line. The fluid trail was not on the left, but rather on the right. The smoking, who knows? Could've been unrelated, could've been fluid blowing up on the manifold from a broken front brake line.

I will try to do some plain nuts and bolts looking around, probably Thursday at the earliest if I have time. and someone to help me push it out of the garage and into the driveway so I can jack it up. Owen will be happy to know that I'll probably use jack stands.
