That's the problem with the later set-up; the older models have separate reservoirs for brake and clutch systems.

My Chrysler Alpine had the same set-up, but with one typically Gallic logical twist: the low fluid level switch was at the bottom of the reservoir, which any intelligent person would immediately recognise as a VERY BAD AND STUPID IDEA.
