Hope Mono Lever Issue

Hi all,

Went out to the shed yesterday after not using my bike for about a month, been using my other one.

Take a look at the pics, noticed a build up of this gunk around the pivot point on the levers.

Can't understand why there would be gunk build up, it's a slightly crystallised substance.

Emailed Hope and they said its not likely to be brake fluid and the brakes feel normal.

Also noticed a bit next to the top screws for the reservoir cover, really strange.

Think I may have to strip them down, rebuild change the seals as a precaution, it's only on the rear brake lever too.

Your thoughts please? Anyone experienced this before? They are Hope Mono 2004 levers.

Thanks
