Brake reservoir connections

Now that my fuel leak has been solved the brake/clutch fluid reservoir has decided that it didn't want to be left out...
I have a 1970 federal dual circuit car with a three line reservoir. Does anyone have any good pictures of the bottom of ANY reservoir so I can determine what I may need to do next. I have tightened the hose clamps joining the rubber tubes to the metal tubes and am patiently waiting to see if any leaks continue.
Thanks!

Do these help? I assume the two nodules either side of the pipe are the unused exits for the 3-line version you have if it's the same kind of reservior.

As usual this site crops the photos for a reason no-one has yet explained. It was suggested that it only happened with Firefox but it happens with Explorer & Google Chrome as well. It's very annoying & I wish something could be done about it as it spoils what is an otherwise very good site.
 
Thanks for the photos. This is just what I needed to see!
The parts manuals are great but don't show this view.
My reservoir is identical except for the number of exits tubes.
A quick check yesterday didn't show any dampness, but I still need to take a mirror to the underside of the reservoir to check for any cracks.
I use Safari on MAC and PC and have had no problems with loosing the right side of any pics on this site.

Hi guy's,
was just reading through the thread re reservoirs, I am at present rapidly ageing due to a very hard to trace fluid loss fault and have found that the reservoir appears to be leaking, not only from the union pipe underneath (Oh no, that would be too easy!!) but also from the cap and if I'm not going crazy from the mould lines that go around the reservoir itself, I've managed to seal up the union on the underside no problem, but the lid even if you apply gorilla levels of force still doesn't seal and when I wipe off the residue after an hour or so the reservoir looks as though it is sweating fluid from somewhere near the moulding lines that go around the main body of the reservoir. Does anyone know or have heard if this is something that happens? Or am I just lucky? Any input would be gratefully received.
