Thanks Donald,
So then, by living in a lower humidity environment with a moderate climate and
parking inside a garage, I really shouldn't be too concerned about moisture
seeping in via the little breather hole, right?
Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense.
Jeff

I'll take a whack at this one:
The hydraulic system is not in fact sealed. There is a breather hole
in the top of the reservoir cover to allow "breathing" of the system,
and to allow air in as the fluid level falls. Of course, that means
that any humidity in the air will also go into the reservoir and when
the temperature drops sufficiently, it will condense.
