Totally normal. The clutch fluid discolors much faster than the brake

fluid, my personal theory being that the clutch master and slave go

through a much longer range of motion than the brake parts. The rise and

fall of the fluid in the clutch master will also pull more moisture in

from the air. FWIW.
