RE: Convertible filler plug?

[62pluckedchicken@xxxxxxxxx]

OK.. a picture of more "gunk"

I used the beginnings of Herb's filler idea and one of those things you 
learned in school but never thought you'd use "liquid seeks it's own 
level"

I stuck one end of the hose in the reservoir, pushed all the air out of 
the bottle, and held the bottle below the pump reservoir.. then let 
nature suck it dry... wasn't much in there and it's kind of brown and 
milky..

any guesses what it is? (tran or brake)
