I'm currently paying to have an auto inspection service look at a '67
Spitfire for me in the Chicago area.  The car has been driven very seldom in
the last several years.  The owner is perplexed by a problem with the brake
fluid disappearing after two or three weeks of sitting idle in storage.  He
says that there is no puddling or other evidence of the fluid leaking out,
but it has to be.  My question is actually fairly simple.  Would the fluid
leave a stain on the cement?  Is it possible for the brake fluid to
evaporate without leaving any obvious staining or evidence that it leaked
out?
