I took it to another shop. That guy looked at it and called me back with then following:
Master cylinder is shot (apparently once the pedal goes to the floor after the fluid runs out like it did will cause it to go toast) Pinhole leak in rear line feed (where I spotted the puddle of fluid on the frame/hold down clamp) Left front brake line rubbing on upper control arm (replaced and rerouted and insulated with rubber so that won't happen again) Left rear caliper bleeder screw was frozen (replaced caliper) He got the frozen pin on the right side to budge (heated the hell out of it and sprayed PB Blaster on it) He told me the other lines eventually will need replacing down the road because they are rusting in a couple of spots. Looks like the problem is solved. NADACOP,I'm going to get those pics done of the brake fluid cooler.

I would appreciate it but take your time! It sounds like you've been pretty busy.

I too want to see a picture of that brake fluid cooler.
Stay safe.

Unless the caliper bracket and/or slide pins were replaced, new boots installed, and proper lubrication was used for the slide pins, the caliper "float" system problem is going to return in short order. See items 2, 3, and 8 - not the best illustration, but you should get the idea.
