Any help...please. All that I need to know is if that smaller clear thing in the back where the banjo bolt is, if it should have clutch fluid in it. Thanks

did you bleed the clutch properly to get out all the air? if you bled it properly the whole system would be refilled with fluid. I am not sure that peice is transparent and should show fluid. only way to find out if everything is ok is to put it back together and start the car up to recharge the system and take it for a spin.

As long as no leak detected, no air bubbles and your clutch engage properly, why worry about other stuff?

BTW, from the look off the pics, the clutch resevior tank looks fill up with brake fluid.

actually now that i think about it...it doesn't have to have fluid in it. that it the attachment from the clutch master cylinder to the resevoir. It controls the flow from the resevoir to the clutch system. As long as the system has enough fluid none should be flowing from the resevoir. make sense?

no problem, I know what it feels like when you are panicing about something that doesn't look right and have no point of reference to compare it to so I'm happy to help. btw, what clutch line is that, the lancershop one?
