Possibly, just drove it home (shitting myself), popped the bonnet when I arrived and it'd not got to the smoking stage this time - possibly enough volatilised on the first journey, or the engine didn't get as hot this time. Fuck knows.
In the picture below you are looking down on the heat shield- it's bolted into the exhaust manifold, and is above the turbo charger, the darker area is where it's filling up with brake fluid, and where the smoke is coming from.
I called the mechanic, he's ordering a new master cylinder assembly on Monday and will come down from Leicester to fit it (I'm paying for his time to do this).

but the other types will shrug water off.
Can you remove it with rags?,
until there is just a stain rather than a puddle?
(Not that you will have any wth you, but cat litter may well adequately absorb it).
