When I first popped off clutch cover some cappuccino colored fluid was present. Then when I drained the fluid it was clean. Later I pull the cover off again and again distinctive yellow color is now present...
any ideas?
by the way, this is first fluid change, 4400 miles
factory installed fluids, I'm hopping it's just from assembly lube
