"To check the level of fluid in the hydraulic clutch system, first, you've got to find the master cylinder. It should be right here, and you remove the cap, and look at the level of fluid, inside the cylinder, and this one is full, so it doesn't need anymore. Put the cap back on, and make sure you clean up any of the residue, because it's bad for the paint. When you're checking the fluid level on a hydraulic clutch, a lot of newer cars have a sealed unit, that you can't check the level. They come pre-sealed from the factory, and don't leak or anything, so you don't have to worry about them. Some older cars, you will have to check it, and they do leak, so check them."
