CSC or CMC problem?

That black/brown fluid is telling you that you are way past your fluid change interval. You need to do a gravity bleed and get all that nasty out of the CMC reservoir. Recommended fluid would be Motul RBF600. You can change it out with Castrol DOT 3/4 brake fluid if you are in a pinch.

I just got it done like 4000 miles ago. I didn't think it'd need some again that soon. Or I wonder if they just used a crappy brake fluid

Most likely crappy fluid. If it has ever been neglected, it will take 3 to 4 fluid exchanges to get cleaned up. I change mine ever other oil change.

i bought 3 500ml bottles of motul 600 to be safe. That should be enough for a bleed and replacement right?

Probably enough to do it 5-10 times. =)
