brake fluid absorbs moisture thus brings the boiling point of your brake fluid down to a much lower temperature. if your brake fluid reaches this temperature you can loose your brakes temporally. also the moisture in the fluid will cause highly unwanted corrosion of internal parts of your brake system.
