Break-in is across the board on all parts, engine, transmission, brakes, suspension. Just how much is required for each component is a different issue for a different thread.

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.
