If so your seals are neoprene/nitrile NOT natural rubber. Automotive (and very old aircraft to about late 1940's) used natural rubber seals and vegetable based brake fluid. Probably today all brake seals should be Nitrile/Neoprene since these are compatible with both vegetable and mineral fluids. However, if you are about to use an automotive seal in your red fluid brake system soak it in that fluid for at least 48 hours and ensure there has been no change in dimensions.
