     If your fluid is dark in color, it has absorbed too much water. The 
systems should be flushed once a year.

My understanding is that moisture is absorbed into the brake system from the
atmosphere. I don't really know how it gets in there, but it does.

Some years ago I bought a car that had been stored for quite some time, this
car had silicone brake fluid in it. All the calipers were frozen. When I
took them apart there was actually water in them that had separated out of
the fluid.
