I've never seen it clear up after awhile, but I suppose it's possible. I really 
like the silicone brake fluid just because it is not nearly as prone to 
developing this rust ridge as the standard fluid is.

I would just remove and clean the old seals and hone the cylinder, all done 
with the cylinders still in the car.
