Brake fluid on paint
I have a Motive pressure bleeder. I originally bought it for my Pcar and so it came with a single length of tubing fitted with the correct Pcar cap. Always worked well when bleeding the 911.
I recently bought the universal cap which requires you to cut the the tubing and crimp on brass mating terminals which allows me to bleed my Accord's brakes. Saturday I replaced the right calliper and the pads on both sides, then bled the system. The universal cap worked somewhat OK, but if I exceeded 5psi it would begin to leak fluid out the reservoir and down all over the parts below. If I kept it just under 5psi I was able to get the work done. Afterwards I put the wheels back on and drove it for the day. It seemed I still had air in the system so the next day (yesterday) I bled it again. Well at some point while bleeding the brakes on the Accord, the crimped mating terminal started to leak fluid on the shock tower. I finished bleeding the system, put everything back together and hosed down all the parts that got brake fluid on it. I let the water run a good while and scrubbed where I could. I also sprayed some VIM on there and ran the water again for a while. What are the consequences of this fluid on the paint and also on the other parts?
