Quick update: it got towed to the mechanic. Left brake hose exploded and right one was close to doing the same. They said it’s going to be a $440 dollar fix all included.

Were there any signs of pending failure on the right hose?

This is a good warning to the rest of us. Replacing brake hoses pre-emptively at somewhere between 15-20 years is a wise move. Throw in a reservoir if you haven’t already.

Now you have me wondering if I should change the hoses on the car that my kids drive...

I already had my brake reservoir replaced this past year after it exploded when the indie shop I went to flush my brakes.

Would it just be the 4 rubber hoses by the brake calipers and that's it?
