DOT 3 fluid is chemically geared to steel components -- not aluminum. It is also incompatible with Buna-N O-rings. Of course, O-rings are cheap. Just replace 'em. How about silicone DOT-5? That does not attract water and is not flammable. As a side note, I have not heard of brake fires in light aircraft, almost all of which use Mil-5606. Read a few posts up. I posted several links, including one incident that I know of personally. Ed helped me rebuild my engine, so I know he actually exists.
