I let my car sit for 3 years several years back and when I checked around
the brake drums/pistons/shoes/etc there was green crystallized deposits of
what appeared to be brake fluid.  Had to rebuild all.

Conclusions: Use glycol in cars that are driven frequently, but be very 
careful when you refill the system so you don't spill it on your paint, and 
change it regularly. Use silicone in show cars that are driven less hard and

infrequently.
