Brake fluid mini-bleed
The oil place where moisture gets into the system is at the master cylinder's reservoir which is vented to atmosphere... very very dumb!
I remove the fluid at the reservoir every year and renew it. That is fast, easy and inexpensive. Very effective too. And you should do this before bleeding the brakes as you do not want to pump the most contaminated fluid through the system. The tricky part is geting the fluid out. Go to a farm supply place like TSC and get a 2 ounce or 60mm syringe. Then put some clear vinyl tubing on it. There does not seem to be a problem with big syringes like this, I guess they are not what junkies are after. These are also great for measuring out week killer etc. You will want to put some silicone grease on the rubber part sometimes.
