Brake fluid is not corrosive. If it was, it wouldn't make a very
good brake fluid... What it is, is hygroscopic, meaning it tends to
absorb water. So there may be some effect of condensation
showing. I would not expect permanent damage, unless there is
substantial white flaky junk showing inside the lines, in which case
you have another problem besides fluif - maybe you stored the car
under water? Water shouldn't have been much of a problem where you are...
I'd consider just flusing it with fresh Castrol LMA - you can get it
at Pep Boys, if not other places. I just can't imagine the entire
brake system going to rot in a year - plenty of these cars sit longer
that that, and survive...
