Course it will, just make sure you clean it off QUICK!!!!!
I got some all over my driveway, cleaned the moss off the slabs a treat, so you can see it's pretty bad if you leave it on anything long enough.
Hope you get the problem sorted asap though.

Brake fluid is a handy tip for causing smoke on burnouts

Or is that what you were really doing
