The reservoir is located at the bottom of the trunk, under the spare tire. There is a plastic covering under the spare tire that has to be removed in order to see the hydraulic pump.
The oil pan on the bottom is the fluid reservoir.
If your referring to hydraulic oil, u could be on about power stering fluid, which is located in black reservoir right next to battery,
It is a 6mm hex-head bolt right on the bottom of the oil pan. The 700 does not use a remote reservoir like the 500's do.
Are you sure it's oil? Most likely is engine coolant from the radiator. Next would be transmission fluid. Or it could be from the reservoir holding the windshield washer fluid. Oil from the front is unlikely.
mine is under the bonnet on the left hand side next to the water bottle for the washers
I do not think that there is any difference. Petroleum engineers normally inject water into an oil reservoir to maintain the reservoir pressure (and hence the ability of the reservoir to pump oil to the surface). In the process and if the water injection wells are properly located, the injected water normally sweeps (pushes out) out more oil effectively flooding the reservoir and increasing the amount of oil that is recovered from the reservoir. This incremental oil will otherwise be left behind in the reservoir. Hence, in an oil reservoir where the natural aquifer is large and strong enough to maintain the reservoir pressure, water injection is unlikely to significantly increase the oil recovery from the reservoir.
After looking and consulting with techs, I found the reservoir to be included with the brake system. You should see a separate, unpressurized hose coming off the side (right) that leads down to the master clutch cylinder. This was on a 2004 VW New Beetle convertible.

Oil level is overfull.
Yes it does have an oil reservoir Pretty much all equipment with hydraulics have a reservoir.
For the older 400/500 engines you will find the dipstick sticking out of the top of the remote oil reservoir in the front left wheel well.
