Eleanor Valencia · Answer 1

Both Technician A and Technician B are correct

Explanation:

The moisture and friction causes the brake fluid to chemically break down after which the moisture begins to corrode metal components in the whole system, the more these increases, the easier moisture starts entering your brake fluid and begin wreaking damage more quickly than normal.

A contaminated brake fluid can spoil any part containing rubber or its textures including the calipers, the master cylinder, the wheel cylinders, and valves.
