Vette(s):
SOLD - "The Toy" - '70 Convertible
SOLD - "The Beast" - '90 ZR-1 (#682)
SOLD - "Betty" - '28 Ford Model A Tudor
SOLD - "BLKBRRD" - '78 Pontiac Trans Am
"BLUBYU" - '04 Coupe
What was the fluid like? Color? Consistency (thick like gear lube or thin like brake fluid)?

If it was dropping on off the pipes by the differential my first guess would be you sprung a leak in your brake lines. Check the fluid level in the master brake cylinder before driving it again.
