Spare wheel? I have a spare wheel? I'll look again, but I'm quite
sure I won't find a spare wheel, unless you mean something else. What
kind of car do you have?

In my car the spare is over the engine under the hood. I might be a little
behind as my car is only a 1988.

Hah! I always wondered when Subaru stopped doing that. I THINK someone
said the last year was '89 ???

I was led astray by the manual. The engine compartment image that
shows all the dip sticks showed a dipstick for the transmission
fluid. That's what I couldn't find. But later in another part of the
manual it shows a reservoir for the transmission fluid. It also
stated that the fluid to be used is DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid. That's
why I thought there were two brake fluid reservoirs. The one closer
to the back and next to the air filter is actually the manual
transmission reservoir / filler.

Seeing the DOT3 makes me suspect that the reservoir is actually for a
hydraulic clutch.
