Dan,
This is one of the main reasons my GT will have DoT 5 silicone fluids in it
when I start putting stuff back together. After 30 odd years of use, many
with a bad clutch M/C, that corner of the engine bay is disgusting! With
silicone fluid it should stay nice and clean for years to come (`course
rebuilt/new hydraulics all round won't hurt either).
As far as a substance you can spray on to keep the DoT 3/4 from destroying
your finish? I haven't a clue. I've tested a couple things myself on scrap
metal with no luck. I'd be very interested to hear of something that will
do the trick.
Cheers,
