As for using the wrong weight fluid, I dont think that's the problem. Although I wish it was as simple as that!

What DOT fluid have you been using? DOT 4 changes to that brownish burnt color extremely fast.
And I agree about the wrong weight fluid not causing the problem. But it wouldn't hurt to change out it and see what happens. Remember, the manual tranny uses 75w-85, and make sure its a GL-4 gear oil. Flush the hydraulic system with some fresh brake fluid and go from there.
