Brake Fluid Level

ok, I'm either being a bit blonde this weekend, or I got too much sun at the weekend, but I can't for the life of me see the "max" or "min" fill level on my brake fluid reservoir. Where should I fill it up too?

(I realise if I over fill it it'll just go out the over flow, but I'd rather not have brake fluid dribbling about under the bonnet)

I fill mine to just above the top of where the strap holds the reservoir.

This leaves more than ample to supply the master cylinder and doesn't seem to cause any to leak away either.

Probably not correct, but doesn't seem to cause any issues.

HTH.

cheers chaps, some ATE super blue is winging its way to me today and I will top up to that level. Mine's a little low, no doubt as a result of the pads bedding in/wearing
