<VV> was synthetic oil, now silicone brake fluid

Bill & all,
I'd like to know how all of this water is getting into the brake systems out 
there.  My brake systems are closed systems sealed off from the atmosphere.  
If you don't let the master cylinder cover off or check the fluid level in the 
rain, water should not be getting in.  Even driving through water is sealed 
out of the wheel cylinders by the piston seals and a positive pressure that is 
always on them.
