I'd like to find the Hans & Frans engineers who designed the brake-fluid resevoir and beat the $#@(*!! crap out of them! Why have the hose nipple on the side near the top of the fluid level, eh? Also why that frickin' stupid bubble on top of the resevoir ahead of and above the fill hole so that you always end up with a trapped air-bubble when filling the resevoir on level ground. Ridiculous !!!

Booster = antenna booster.
If the pedal dropped a little you must have gotten some air trapped in the system.

I personally have never successfully bled clutch hydraulics on a European car without a pressure bleeder. Audi, Porsche, BMW, even a Maserati. You have to use a pressure bleeder for the clutch hydraulics.
Brakes you can do without a pressure bleeder, but once you see how fast and well it works, you won't want to do them any other way.

I'm very pleased with the bleeding job I did, I can actually feel the pedal now and it doesn't feel light and spongy. I'm still going to buy a bleeder though, just because it's a PITA to do it the old fashoined way. I've also heard good things about those little speed bleeder valves. I don't think I would use it on the clutch though.
