Reddish brown sounds a bit like rust contamination, not totally unheard of in the primary chain case due to condensation. There is a long explanation of this phenomenon on this forum somewhere, I would search Hugo Myatt, basically the engine can pressurise the chain case through the main bearing, and the pressure in the chain case forces oil into the gearbox, I am not for one minute saying this a definitive explanation of your problem, but perhaps something you should consider, if that does prove to be the problem, I have to tell you there is no quick fix.
