Maybe I haven't ever driven with really bad brake fluid, but while I have experienced brake fade due to a sticking caliper (and pulling of the car as a consequence) it didn't result in loss of brake pressure. Once one of my cars stood there with a smoking brake, still no loss of pressure.

Was able to confirm the front right wheel got much hotter compared to the front left and rears. Since driving with new fluid I've had no issues. Also using some brake cleaner on the front right caliper along with working the pedal was able to release the partially engaged caliper. Still going to rebuild them for peace of mind and replace the MC with the new one when I do the rebuild.
