John,
This was synthetic or silicone fluid?
The fluid boiled, or leaked out?
There was something specific about synthetic
fluid that would not have happened to non-synthetic
DOT 4 fluid?
Given that it sounds like it worked for a while the gave
out under pressure would seem to indicate boiling, if
he blames the fluid. Did he think it boiled at a lower
temp than specified?
Non synthetic DOT 3 or 4 fluid can
certainly boil -- Castrol LMA always boils on my Jaguar
at Laguna, but Valvoline synthetic has higher boiling
point and held up OK the only time I tried it.
I'll try ATE Super Blue in future, and maybe Motul
because it really resists boiling.
