Are you sure because it looks pretty black and just noticed it after having problems with my tranny. I hope thats all it is! How do you go about bleeding it. DO you have to bleed the whole brake system?

First, its not the brake system so thats not a problem. If its black and there are chunks in the clutch reservoir, you have waited far too long to address this. Flush & bleed the system and hope that there are no long lasting seal problems.

If it's like grease you'll have to replace the hydraulics. I had this happen in my Sonoma. I couldn't figure out where it came from and the trans shop said it was nearly impossible to flush it and make sure you got it all out. It was easier just to replace the master/slave.
