what's the consensus on brake fluid algae?
went to flush the brakes on my 2006 gmc sierra since when i bought the truck i saw the master reservoir was dirty.
I ended up putting a new master with res. on it because i cannot buy just the plastic res. and the old one was so bad i could not clean it.
the old reservoir had dark green or blackish fluid, there is a dark green scum inside the entire res.
when i flushed the brakes i had green fluid coming out of each caliper.
When i pulled the res. off the original master while on the truck, i could see floaties and sediment in the ports of the master where the res. sat. When i disassembled the original master, there was a green slime coating inside on everything. It basically wiped off, and using brakecleen and alcohol cleaned up but there is a light green tinge on all the metal inside the master. can this be from algae, or is it just decomposed and broken down brake fluid?
