[QUOTE="XP900, post: 16511039, member: 199546"] Trust me...I have worked on a lot of cars and changed a lot of brake fluids over the last 50 years...this is not a breakdown of the brake fluid, not dirt and not moisture getting into the system. These systems are closed and sealed tight even at the MC cap. The fluid doesn't age like this in less than 2 years and 8K miles of easy braking. All my brakes were replaced and flushed when I put the Ford brake upgrade system in less than two years ago. If there was any type of leakage even in the clutch system you would know very quickly due to a loss of the brake and clutch systems. There is no air of dirt getting into my system. This is something I have never seen before in any of my cars braking systems and I think I caught it before it really contaminated my 6 piston brakes. It is a breakdown of a component in the clutch system so separate your systems if you have not done it yet. The contamination on the inside of my old reservoir is like a coating of black silt material and it looks to me like it could be filtered from the brake fluid itself. I can see it somewhat floating in the the fluid like waves, like an oil spill in water. When I change my clutch I will replace all the components down in the bell housing at the same time since that is probably the source of the problem. I doubt the clutch M/C has any problem or I would have lost my clutch system by now but I may replace it when I change my clutch since I'm sure it is not benefitting the M/C seals. I already took it out once to change the supply line to it and cleaned it. I am not too concerned about the issue in the clutch system.......but I would be concerned about it in the braking system. I will simply change the clutch reservoir fluid every 6 months from now on to dilute the contamination. [/QUOTE]
