the brake master cylinder is located underneath the dash cover, the reservoir also feeds the clutch master cylinder there is only one reservoir for the clutch and the brakes, he very carefully moving to cover from the instrument cluster grab it with both hands up by the windshield and pull towards you an 1/16 of an inch and then straight up.
