I gave it a quick look over for now and it seems none of the calipers had leaked any fluid but either the master cylinder or brake booster or ABS control had leaked fluid over the engine compartment. I couldn't spot exactly where the leak came from but it was in the vicinity of the master cylinder. The A arms were ok, I'm not sure about the frame any more though. I checked all the fluids and they seemed to be ok, other than the Brake fluid, so I tried starting the engine up; It started. Nothing seemed to be in the way of the wheels and the brakes seemed to have pressure so I decided to give the brakes a healthy testing. I got the car up to 25-30 in the parking lot and slammed on the brakes. It seems the rear right locks up, none of the others. The front of the car pulls a little to the right and the back to the left under normal braking, but when the ABS is engaged it leaves off on the right rear and pulsates slowly. Holy crap! The car's rear end would start swurving left and right! The combination of the rear right brake locking up and the ABS causes a dangerous swurve. If I was driving faster I could see not having any control of the steering.
