Are ya sure the fluid was actually brake fluid? I have seen fellows substitute WD40 and other fluids for brake fluid. Talk about problems....... we had em then.

if you're thinking it isn't compatible with regular fluid look for separation in the reservoir. if there is tell him to call his insurance company because everything that isn't plain steel is going to need to be replaced.
never argue with a fool, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience
