Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

I see where it is wet, but that looks like a steering component and not a brake line. I hate to be a pain, but is the master cylinder low on brake fluid? Also, can you get a closer picture? I can't imagine that a pot hole could damage a brake line or caliper unless the wheel fell off.

Let me know.
