Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

996 TT. On the left hand side in the boot behind the servo and under the perforated black trim is a small reservoir which says 'mineral oil only'. Can anyone illuminate me as to what it is (not the servo,this much i know and not the clutch/power steering as that in the engine bay) I'm stumped..anyone help ??

POST 2Original post

clutch fluid expansion resevoir, filled with pentosin.... should it ever start overflowing when you press the clutch then you will have a problem with clutch hydraulic unit on top of gearbox...

POST 3Original post

Mineral oil, or liquid petroleum is a by-product in the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline and other petroleum products from crude oil. It is a transparent, colourless oil composed mainly of alkanes and cyclic paraffins, related to white petroleum. I know, 'cos I looked it up on Wikipedia. Sorry, couldn't resist.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Remind me again rob what it is I like about you.....because it escapes me..[ ] I am now happy in the knowledge that it is the second supply tank for the clutch actuating circuit. cheers for the heads up porscheuro, and also with the reply on pistonheads too.
