Panic Stop, now no brakes and Puddle of fluid?

So I was driving home late last night and did probably the hardest panic stop I've done to avoid a deer..


Good News is I missed the Deer. Bad news is that The brake pedal is very mushy and the brakes almost non existent now. I parked the car and this morning I see a trail of drips leading to my parking spot, and a large puddle under the Drivers side front tire of brake fluid.


Checked the master, fluid is down to about 1/3. Refilled master, pulled the wheel expecting to easily find a leak, given the amount of fluid on the ground. But nothing, everything is dry?!?


Had my wife pump the brakes and hold them like I was going to bleed them. Pedal slowly sinks, but I can't find a leak anywhere..


Bleed the Left Front Caliper, somehow thinking it might make a difference, but it didn't (no surprise really).


I'm stumped, any ideas before I take it to the dealer?
