Excessive grease (or underseal?) was most likely put on a rusty pipe purely so they can't see it... They're 18+ years old now, the brake pipes will need replacing.

You will immediately know if the pipe breaks, you'll lose (almost) all braking and the warning light will appear on the dash when the fluid level drops.
