Yeah, it's fairly normal. The fluid gets burned. Try cleaning the reservoir out and putting in fresh fluid a few times every few days. You may can get it cleared up without having to do anything else. I do this as part of my normal maintenance and it seems to be working well. This is more important with headers.

Mine looked like that after 6-7 months of DD even with the wrapped clutch line. Always good to do regular maintenance on it as the fluid will eventually break down.
