what fluid is located above...?

I was just wondering what fluid is located above the coolant container. On the container it says cold max/cold min and hot max/hot min.? it seems to be getting low and i wanted to refill it. Thank you. Also are there two containers for the brake fluid? big one in the front and a small one way in the back?

Sounds like the Power Steering reservoir. There is only one Brake fluid Reservior. it's almost to the Firewall on the Driveside.

It's the Steering wheel fluid. According to the manual, it says, NEVER let it go below MIN, fill it up immediately. How do I know this? Cuz I had to look it up yesterday myself what that was for. Mine has been below MIN for few months now. One of these days I will fill it up to MAX.

I'm gonna take a stab and say u'r car is manual, so as far as there being two reserviors full of brake fluid, u r right, don't listen to all the of the aparrent automatic owners.

The smaller container right against the fire wall is u'r clutch fluid resevior. which is also filled with brake fluid

Exactly. There's the brake fluid reservoir and the clutch fluid reservoir right up against the firewall.
