Someone correct me if I’m wrong but that looks like the purge line for the charcoal canister. That would be cause a big vac leak as it appears to be connected to the intake on the engine side of the throttle plate. I’d be fixing that first and checking all hoses and connections for vac leaks.

Sorry, I meant remove the wheel and caliper when is said whip it apart, leave the caliper intact and the hose connected.

If your engine and trans are bog standard, I think your trans will be just fine unless you thrash it, but that will kill any trans eventually. Best to check what gears you have already so you have an idea of how different it will be. I doubt it would have much effect if any on what rev range your trans shifts at but definitely will effect what road speed it shifts at. Not overly familiar with American cars as I am a truck mech. in Australia so please correct me if I am mistaken.

Stayin’ dirty down underHi, I wouldn’t be too concerned at this point. I find it pretty unlikely that the grease could travel past the piston seals. At worst, the grease could run out (if it gets hot enough) and contaminate the pads and cause reduced braking as well as uneven pad & rotor wear on the affected side. I reckon your best bet would be to whip it apart, clean it and reassemble, perhaps with just a smear (don’t fill the boot) of rubber grease. For absolute piece of mind, you could bleed the caliper and check the fluid for contamination, although I reckon as long as the fluid in the reservoir is nice and clean, the fluid bled out will be too.
