Well, the issues keep piling up. I got to work this morning and BOTH front calipers were
smoking - seems that BOTH are stuck. I am wondering if its the master cylinder because
a: I replace both calipers less than a year ago (rebuilt, not new) and b: no reason BOTH
should go at the same time.
However, to verify, does anyone know offhand if the 200 has diagonal brake plumbing off
the MC? If so, that would blow my diagnosis.  Also, if it IS the MC, can someone explain
how an MC fails in such a way to not release just one of the circuits?

Sheech, I really don't want to work on the car any more, but it seems that I will be
jack the car up and removing some wheels tonight
