Default Brake fluid

Has anyone else noticed that it is difficult to determine if enough dot 3 is in the resivor. I think Honda used a tank that should have been mounted on the left side or turned around? I can not see a line to fill to. Anyone else notice this? It also looks like it is near empty all the time , I hate it!

You must be looking at the upper tank. Farther behind and below this tank, I discovered the brake fluid tank with the high and low fill markings.
I'm not sure if the upper tank is for thermal expansion. Maybe try checking it when cold?

I also find it difficult to see the liquid in my brake fluid tank. I wish there was a "clear" part of the tank so we can see it better. Is there a better way to check to see how much brake fluid we have left?
