What will brake fluid do to my new Pantera East Aluminum Campy clones?

Brake system pressures are high--a couple of hundred, or a couple of
thousand 
PSI.   Ain't no teflon tape that will help that!

The brake fluid will destroy the paint on your wheels BTW; if you haven't 
already thoroughly cleaned them, do so immediately, and don't drive the car
again 
until the brake lines are fixed....
