ABSOLUTELY, that’s why it is so vital that the hydraulic system is in good working order with no leaks. This doesn’t mean that you have to throw away your brake pads. Clean them compounds off and take them to a grinder (if needed) to grind off the contaminated compound material. Please consult a professional before using a grinder, and to make sure the pads are safe to use again.
