True about the age - though I've seen shops fail to seal the brake res. completely, allowing moisture to get into the fluid that way (which may be why it came on all of the sudden, especially with the wet weather lately). Wonderin' if that's that happened instead of just old fluid?


Good luck with it either way - cover any painted surface within line-of-sight; that shit tends to lock in on anything it can ruin and run for it
