Could it be getting past the seal between the body of the piston and the hydraulic ram where it goes in and out. Notice my technical terminology there:Giggle

hahaha great use of thechnical jiberish ye that sounds like it could be it. i had to get the car towed a while back aswell as the plugs on one rotor gave up and had to steer without the engine running and just wondering could that have been the problem or has anyone else had their car towed and have this happen to them afterwards
