Identify This Reservoir!

[e30pwr]

Well. I have been poking around trying to figure out what is leaking. My poking led me the the pipe that drains from the bottom of the below pictured reservoir. Can somebody help me out, What is the name of it? I'm thinking that it is the brake fluid reservoir. I haven't gotten the Bentley manual yet(parents and their Christmas gifts).

oh no. Check what the cap says. Do you have a zf master cylinder?

While your under the hood there, check your blinker fluid reservoir, it's directly behind that other one you were trying to figure out, it's the yellowish one with the two wires for the blinker reservoir heating element. I'll tell ya its a real pain in the arse when you run out of blinker fluid on a cold damp night.

Don't worry, there was a time in my life when I was honestly tempted to ask questions like this one.

By the way, the brake fluid reservoir is the one right next to the power steering fluid reservoir.

Also, remember to put automatic transmission fluid in the power steering reservoir, that's how BMW designed it (not a joke, read the cap).

Yes, read the cap, for the cold climate cars use Pentosin(green fluid) and for others use ATF.

Muffler bearings might be bad too. But, nice thing is, there's no muffler fluid.

In all honesty though...we all start somewhere. Good you're getting a Bentley though!
