Brake fluid reservoir - HELP!

I'm overhauling the brakes on my Syncro and am now at the point where I need to fill the brake reservoir before I bleed the pipes. Question is is it under the dash or is that the clutch reservoir?

Forgive the newbie question :oops:

yes, and yes.
one res, two sections, upper section clutch, lower brakes, one filler.

Thanks for clearing that up :wink:

Am I right to just fill the reservoir and then loosen off the rear right bleed nipple to get the fluid around the system before I bleed the pipes properly?

Just a extra question, How much fluid does it take to fill the system?
I'm planning to overhaul my brakes and fancy replacing the fluid.
