Default 08 accord 4cl 5spd clutch master cylinder malfunction

Keeps snapping a cheap bolt off it looses pressure and get it towed to garage....but I've heard of crv,element,rsx,integra,and civics having same issue...seems to be 2008-and newer.what about fluid getting hot and passing boiling point and creating to much pressure from water vapor creating these cheap bolts to crack...they say use Honda dot 3 brake fluid but I just noticed they do make a honda dot 4 type also which should allow about another 60 degrees before the boiling and breakdown causing something to blow.this is costing approx 5-700$ every few months I'm putting the Honda dot 4 fluid in this time it's gotta be heat no other explanation,oh and I've noticed discoloration recently like dark color this shouldn't happen when the whole system was fuxed and drained repaired and bled and filled up with dot 3 which they say is fine 3 months ago...than everything works like a charm till one day a tiny pop noise and it all over again I gotta figure this out
