Could be a stuck caliper, or a flexible brake line could be collapsed on the inside, preventing flow.

Should I be worried about this crack?
I just noticed a crack in a rubber piece that seems to have something to do with the brakes.
It's a little blurry sorry, but you can still see the little crack on the washer-like piece that's attached to the big drum thingy.
Should I be worried or is that no big deal?
Thanks

I wonder if when I pop off the cover this afternoon I'll find dirty brake fluid.
And, there's no mention of what the part is called. Anyone know?
