Post What are the symptoms of dirty brake fluid?

Hi,

I'm wondering if the growling noise when I'm braking has to due to the fact that my brake fluid seems dirty. I bled the system 6 months ago, but didn't like the work of that particular mechanic. I did see that the brake fluid he put in at that time was new. Now it appears that the fluid is dirty again. At least to me it looks dirty, but my NEW mechanic said it looks fine (clean). I know that fluid color is not the light clear yellow anymore, but more darker. What could be the culprit of the fluid getting dirty already? Please advise. Thanks.
