clutch fluid contamination

Hi Guys,

Can anyone can identify the source of this light coloured fine 'stuff' that has slowly been accumulating in bottom of the 888's clutch hydraulic reservoir over the last couple of years? Hopefully more obvious on the photo. I always thought that the clutch fluid on Ducatis went black but (after 3 years) mine was still only a dark straw colour. I'm running a standard clutch slave that I rebuilt 3 years ago. Now cleaned (no sign of any leakage from the slave), fluid changed and all is fine but I'm curious.....

Thanks,

Keith
