Whats the smaller reservoir under the steering column?

Post by audiocontr »

I see the one is brake fluid, but what is the cylindrical reservoir for? Clutch hydrolic fluid?

Mine is very low. What should i use for fluid? Can i use brake fluid? (I'm used to MGs and the like where its in both the brakes and clutch hydrolics)

If I am low, where can it be leaking? What should i look for?

My apologies for the simple questions. I have ordered a manual. Just need to get it here

If you didn't get stuck, you didn't try hard enough.
