Update to those who are following:
Took it to a local shop to get it diagnosed and they said it IS a transaxle seal leak and not brakes so it’s possible to take to VMC (which I will do) they checked the master cylinder and also recommended a replacement of rotor and pads as it was saturated in the fluid.
you guys really know your stuff. Thanks again to you all so much!
