Judging by the clear fluid and such it does sound like the caliper seized and the seals failed from the heat. New rotor, new caliper, new pads, full bleed. Probably US$500-$1000 in parts depending on if just one side failed or both front calipers are trashed.

I understand the small window where it could potentially happen, but I still very much doubt it. Everything should seat properly within the first 20 miles of driving. I'm leaning towards faulty brake line... and glad it didn't happen on city streets for the owner.
