it starts off clear. if it's black, it's likely time to change it.
but you're likely also getting low on brake pads, and there's not enough fluid to compensate. i'd definitely look over the entire brake system. at a minimum, replace the brake fluid, but be prepared to be doing build, pads, and possibly rotors as well.

Is this something easy enough to do myself, in terms of the brake fluid change? Or will I get gouged by taking it to a mechanic?
I checked the brake oil fluid earlier today, and it didn't look too bad, definitely not black, transparent and orange like urine I suppose.
Cheers for your help I appreciate it.
