The hunt for the sierra/fiesta reservoir may be on after all. I wonder why marlin have it angled up in the first place. I guess because the chassis was sierra based for a while? one of many things that should have been updated with the switch to BMW (such as the build manual).
The installed BMW master cylinder is fitted at the same angle with the reservoir on it and it dosn't cause a issue.

Worth checking what happens if you simulate fluid loss in each line in turn. I think when "level" the reservoirs are designed to retain enough fluid for the "non failed" line. The angle may prevent this and may also prevent the front chamber filling fully due to an air bubble? Also the low fluid float & switch if fitted will not be accurate? Just a thought. Peter.
