but its not

its brake fluid

seriously it was that dark

it came out the alfa's clutch reservoir and this is like the third time i've cleaned it out

i might need a new master cylinder

for those of you who don't know what brake fluid should look like (what you doing on oppo go to gawker) it should be clear not motor oil-color

Clear?

Yellow, blue, red, etc. Sure. Never seen "clear" brake fluid in my life.

I've described typical DOT3/4 as "straw colored" or lightly yellow.

some get pretty close to clear, but yeah... usually not clear.

bah, it's just some seal material. As long as they work, they work.

How have you never seen super blue? That stuff has been around for 30+ years.

They recently made that stuff illegal.

Ew. The stuff that came out of my MGA after it has sat for 30 years was similarly disgusting. It (along with the engine oil and even the fuel) was unusually thick and full of gooey chunks that I presume were whatever was left of the seals and flex hoses. I didn't even bother trying to rebuild the hydraulics – just blew all the grot out of the lines with air, and replaced them.

ATI makes/made a blue brake fluid with the same properties as the clear fluid that they sold. That way it was easier to tell when you hit new fluid when you did a flush. You would just alternate colors with every flush.
