I found this : and sure enough, my breather hose was connected to the Brake booster- ( Who the heck did that!....)
he only hose I could find ended on the brake fluid reservoir. But I gently pulled it off, and heard a loud temporary hiss, as if pressure was being relieved. After that, I opened the dipstick, and thankfully no fluid bubbled out.
This might explain the issue, assuming that there should be an unconnected nipple coming off the brake reservoir that is (coincidentally?) the exact size as the vent hose. Is that really the case?? I just noticed on this forum that this nipple would be connected to the clutch in manual transmission models--mine is an automatic. So that explains it.
Now I can imagine how some idiot (maybe even me in an amnesiac state) might have come upon and connected the two. I hope that means this case is closed (time will tell). Thanks everyone!!
By the way, the mechanic didn't specifically claim to have changed the filter after the job, but he did say that it might be the source of the problem and that he would change it before the job. Hm. Possible honest mistake, if other cars have such a filter? At least he didn't try to sell me a new tranny.
