Clutch master cylinder reservoir

Checking the fluid level before my recent run to Germany I couldn't find the clutch reservoir - it's a manual 4200 - I looked in the manual and it says under the left side cover but there is nothing there resembling it. Some cars use a common brake/clutch reservoir but I couldn't see any take off there either. Any clues where it is hiding ?

Fron the picture, you can pull the fluid feed pipe off the front of the reservoir, then drain the clutch system without disturbing the brakes. There is a bleed nipple on the clutch master on the gearbox:

Item 26 is the CLUTCH BLEED PIPE
Item 34 is the BLEED SCREW

Slacken off the nipple, and get someone to pump it whilst topping up the fluid and close the bleed screw when the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
