I guess I did not describe the setup accurately enough. If the container is 
connected to the "T" fitting (like, sealed !!) I fail to see how any air 
could get in.

Since the brake fluid is much heavier than air, I assume that at least some 
of it would drop into the container. For that matter, instead of a "T", 
just insert a large diameter rigid clear (glass or plastic) line that 
curves down and back up - cery=tainkly some brake fluid would accumulate in 
the b0ottom of the loop.
