how long does it take to drip through the fluid in the reservoir assuming it's at the max level? Thanks.

Yep it started dripping right away I didn't have to do anything. Just have the reservoir cap off and make sure it's full, I cracked it so it was coming out really slowly. I jacked up the driver side of the car and took the front wheel off to get under there easier.

I did not touch the clutch pedal or anything else, just kept adding fluid in as it drained down slowly. It probably took 30 minutes to get through the bottle, by the end it was nice and clear.
