Claude,
I like this theory: when I heard recently that brake fluid is hydrophillic, I've been wondering about something like that on my 91 9kT.
You're in Florida, so humidity's a constant.
I need to find a decent pressure-cap arrangement so I can thoroughly bleed my entire system, then we'll see. I'll add this to your theory: my problems seemed to appear shortly after replacing a seized front caliper, and bleeding that ciruit. (I read somewhere that one always is supposed to bleed the rears first, even when there's no suspected problem back there...)
Any thoughts on Silicone brake fluid? (The alcohol-flush sounds like a major pain)
Ben
