How can i fix a crack in my radiator?

DOT 3 Brake Fluid is Hygroscopic. Which means it is able to absorb moisture from the air. When your brake fluid absorbs enough moisture from the air, your brake lines and cylinders will rust. In addition, the brake fluid loses its most important property. A high boiling point. Because water is present, it boils much easier and air can get into the system.

Also, take note that the rubber seals and metal wear slowly. As they wear down, the brake fluid gets dirtier. As it gets dirtier, the lubrication and sealing properties of the brake fluid suffers and everything now wears even faster.

Is there a household item I can use to keep my windshield washer fluid in my car from freezing tonight?

Brake fluid does hold moisture, this moisture has little effect on the performance of the system. But if contaminated fluid is left in the system for too long can affect the metal and rubber parts of the system. the water in the fluid will corrode the metal parts and that corrosion will break down the rubber parts. if you don't change it regularly you will have problems in the future with calipers, hoses, master cylinders, and hard lines. Replace it per manufacturer's recommendations or at every break job and you will not have any problems. Its cheap stuff and can save lots of money in the long run.
