   Water which enters brake lines, even in small amounts, will react with most common brake fluids (i.e., those which are hygroscopic [8] [9]) causing the formation of deposits which can clog the brake lines and reservoir. It is almost impossible to completely seal any brake system from exposure to water, which means that regular changing out of ...

7. Brake bleeding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_bleeding

   Brake bleeding is the procedure performed on hydraulic brake systems whereby the brake lines (the pipes and hoses containing the brake fluid) are purged of any air bubbles.
