Mixed clutch fluids?

I just noticed that my bike has a fluid separation in the clutch reservoir. It's a used '07 and i just got it last week. There is an amber fluid up to the min level and a clear fluid from min to max level. I think the last service provider must have topped it off with something other than the right stuff?

What would you guys suggest and what fluid can I get here in the US that is readily available and work right? I don't have a KTM dealer anywhere close.

Thanks
Magura Blood is available at most bicycle shops. Any BMW Motorrad dealers near you ? BMW uses mineral oil in some of their newer models. Lastly, Some folk use mineral oil from the drug store , it's thicker , but you live in a warm state.

I have citreon hydralic fluid in mine its also mineral and works just fine .
I have just topped mine up with Motorex 75 Clutch fluid. It is a clear fluid.
Havn't noticed any separation of colours yet, but this may happen when the new stuff gets up to the reservoir.
