Can Brake fluid absorbs water?
No, the fluid cannot absorb water but you can get water in your brake system and that would be bad. --Most brake fluids used today are glycol-ether based. Glycol-ether brake fluids are hygroscopic (water loving), which means they absorb moisture from the atmosphere under normal humidity levels. Racing brake fluid may be synthetic and not have this problem, but in the everyday world, brake fluid does absorb water.
Is a little water in brake fluid dangerous?

What is brake fluid made from?

What substitute can be use for brake fluid?
There is no substitute available that can be used for brake fluid. Using anything other than brake fluid could be dangerous and would likely cause damage.
Why is it dangerous to allow air bubbles into the brake fluid?
Air unlike brake fluid can be compressed. When there is air in the brake system it compresses when you apply the brakes. This causes a loss of brake pressure on the brake pads and results in much longer stopping distances. This is dangerous and will cause an accident.
Why brake fluid should be changed?
the average boiling point of the brake fluid has dropped to a potentially dangerous level because of moisture contamination and may not meet minimum federal requirements for brake fluid.

It uses brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir. The clutch fluid (brake fluid) is fed by the brake fluid reservoir. The clutch fluid reservoir is just beneath the brake fluid reservoir. So, add fluid to the brake fluid reservoir to fill the clutch fluid, also.
