But with a failure of both cylinders (2 & 5) that share an ignition coil, the coil and/or the module that controls it are likely the fault. DO YOU HAVE SPARK to 2 & 5 when the other four cylinders are running? Can you see or hear the spark jumping at the coil terminals, indicating a break in the coil insulation?

Anyway, I'm leaning toward coil or coil module. I think some parts stores have the capacity to test them off-the-car. Call around, you might get lucky.

I still don't understand how fluid can enter a PCM. On GM vehicles, when they're in the engine compartment, they're sealed.

Regular engine oil might cause damage, I'd be very tempted to clean it up and try the PCM again. Brake fluid would be more difficult, I can imagine the water content would corrode circuit traces. Maybe. In my driveway, I'd open it up and see what it looked like inside.
