Mine behaved exactly like this with the dirty fluid and losing fluid. It was the master cylinder gaskets all caused by the fact that the master and, in my case, the hydraulic throw out bearing, were not properly aligned. You can replace the master but depending on which manufacturer it might have a rebuild kit. First I rebuilt the master cylinder, then I had to rebuild the HTOB, and after the second time the HTOB ate the gaskets I ditched the whole setup and went to a more traditional master/slave setup.
