Is brake fluid flammable? I.e would you expect it to smoke when collected on a heat shield over the exhaust manifold/turbo?

Yep,

even the silicones are going to give up around 280C.

Which grade are you using/losing?

Tbh not sure, whatever the mechanic specified for track use. Best way of cleaning it off- bucket of water? Just want to drive the car home without it combusting.
