I had a brake failure after I had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting someone who pulled out right in front of me. Luckily I did stop. After that I had almost no brakes, but was almost home. Fluid was very low, can see it pouring out when I hit the brakes but not sure the exact location. Taking it in after labor today to get it repaired, concerned about the location and the condition of my system - I had to junk my last car, a 95 grand am, after it had a slow leak but the shop said the lines where so bad that they fixed it another line could go at any time, and it would be $600+ to replace all the bad lines.
Basically I see fluid pour out through the frame by where the two circles are cut. It drips off the lines in the pic, not sure if it's a leak or running down. Only seems to be one line looking into the engine bay. Lines also don't look great in pics 4 & 5 but I think I've seen worse.
Any thoughts on the condition/rust on the lines and possible difficulty? From what I can see estimates for lines is around $150-$200?
