Yep; seen it numerous times before.

Problem #1: Glycol-based brake fluid is extremely hygroscopic, meaning it attracts/absorbs water.
Problem #2: The higher the h2o content of the brake fluid, the lower the boiling point, and the easier the brakes fade.
Problem #3: As the fluid fluid absorbs the water, the now higher density (heavier) fluid settles in the lower areas of the system(s), and happily begins to corrode the aluminum or iron components.
The pity is, in most cases a $10 bottle of brake fluid and an hour's worth of work every other year can prevent this.
:blah-blah :blah-blah :blah-blah :blah-blah Can't help myself!
