It's certainly possible, but it would have had to have been in there a fair while. I installed a reco'd BTV about 6.5 years ago because the one in the car lost all boost (hard pedal). I arranged for the reco BTV to be sent to me by the previous owner of the car and still have the failed one. I've not lost any brake fluid since installing the replacement and checked the reservoir two days ago and there was still plenty in there. I still have some of the old oil/fluid so I'll have another look at it tomorrow. I gather from your question Fred that it's possible for brake fluid to find its way into the vac tank. Cheers, John
