Clean out the resevoir, then pump the pedal about 10 or so times. It will start mixing in the rest of the system and will darken again. Continue until you get clear fluid. I would be nervous about the miti-vac as it is putting a negative pressure on the seals in the slave, not sure what affect that might have. There is a procedure on CF for the above that was developed by someone called "Ranger".
