With the the slow speeds, the trouble should be from the heat of the exhaust
> manifolds or headers. The oil, dried mud, sludge around the brake lines is
most likely what was holding the heat. If one of your calipers were
sticking, a disc would turn blue and over heat everything around it. Since

that wasnt the case, there are not many other things relevant. A thorough
examination of your brake lines for pin holes, then flush your system with
clean fluid and hope none of the rubber parts got hot enough to damage. Make
sure you bleed the master cylinder first, then the rest of the system.
Please post a followup on what you find out.

Do you think that there is anyway that the lines getting really hot and
boiling would somehow put air in the lines.?
