My wifes sportpack mini has been stood for a few months now, and I found this weekend that a rear wheel cylinder has leaked and dripped onto the wheel. I looks like the fluid has been on the wheel for a while as it has lifted the paint on the inside of the wheel.

Is the brake fluid likely to have damaged the wheel itself?

Cheers

Working on the theory that alloy callipers don't disolve, I reckon the alloys will be fine.

The alloy itself will be OK, possibly a touch of surface corrosion, but nothing to worry about, it will just be the paint it has lifted. It doesn't take long for brake fluid to lift paint, a day or two will do it.
