Hi, please help out a guy that knows dreadfully little about cars. :o

I've got a 2000 Toyota Corolla 160i -- while I was checking my battery water and brake fluid yesterday, I noticed a little reservoir with the letters "RH" on it. Can anyone tell me what this is?

Its got a min and max marker, and fluid that looks similar to brake fluid but I can't figure out what it is. Also, the fluid is at the min mark so I'd like to fill it up if I can. Unfortunately I'm stuck at work and won't be able to stop at a mechanic to ask...

Thanks.
 
If your car is a manual, you will have a reservoir for brake fluid and one for clutch fluid. Not sure what 'RH' means. I assume the other tank is for clutch fluid
 
Man... I'm silly...

Got a second opinion, he also suggested that it should be clutch fluid. But the moment I poured clutch fluid into the reservoir I went into "oh-*****-what-have-I-done"-mode.

After a internet deep-dive I have a confirmed answer... it's the clutch fluid reservoir. :o

Here's a pic from an owners' handbook I managed to find. Still no idea what "RH" stands for though.

But thanks for everyone's input. ;)
