I too had this phenomena happen to my brake fluid. Down next to the calipers, in about six or so inches of tube, where the fluid was exposed to light for several years, the fluid turned gold colored. I drained the system, re-filled with new fluid and have had no problems since. I think prolonged exposure to UV rays caused this to happen.
