Response to XTOL negitives seem brown .. is this normal?

I think your Xtol may be dead, since you got very low contrast.

Fine-grain negs developed to a low CI are often brownish in color; I believe that's common with Xtol. It's of no consequence.

Kodak has had trouble with Xtol packages leaking air. Usually the powder is caked, but dead developer has been reported with no caking.
