WMC - What went wrong
The driver's rear hose has a leak only evidenced under pressure. I can get it to squirt a bit when I step on the brakes. It may just need to be tightened but I already have a set of new rear hoses that I didn't get around to installing last year(d'oh), so I'm gonna put those on tomorrow, then see how it goes for a while before any long trips.
As far as paint damage, no brake fluid got anywhere on the body, and only the very inner edge of the wheel had a little clearcoat cloudiness. I was very lucky.
Thanks to all who helped me out; and special thanks to Don for following me home.

The new hoses(got a set of 4 new Goodridge hoses last year for $50, didn't get around to it until now though...) came with copper crush washers and they work so far so good.
