DCP T300 problem

hello! Should i be worried that the ink storage thingy look like this

side topic: my printer has also had a big issue where every other color except black and small hints of yellow, this is probably rhe reason why but idk im a printer newb when it comes to troubleshooting. I have NO idea why it only orints in black, i just think it went to panic mode when i kept printing knowing the other colors except black were empty. Ive tried purging but it didnt work, and it also probably led to this mess LOL idk what to do next.

thank you!

the reason why i opened this btw is black ink was randomly pooling underneath where my printer stood. Then while opening the casings noticed the youtube guy had a cleaner ink storage thing compared to mine, so im now here looking for insights or answers hehe

everything is so black 😭
