Leaks are no problem. 

Stuff a couple of golf tees in the holes as you trans****t the new MC if
you 
have nothing else to plug them with. Even if the holes are left wide open,

drips are slow and very easily compensated for.

And even if you should get some brake fluid on the paint, it's not like 
when they cut off the leg of that critter in the movie "Alien". Brake
fluid 
takes at least several minutes to damage paint.
