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).
