If you take them off, clean them, and don't drive the car until the brake
lines are repaired, nothing.

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....
