The rear reservoir feeds the rear brakes.

I've now filled that reservoir for the 20th time on the SDL and CANNOT fix all my leaks. Now it's the RR brake hose connection.

If you want to be certain that the rear reservoir is filled, lean over into the engine compartment and look at the reservoir from the engine side. You'll definitely see the different fluid levels from that angle, but, not from the outside due to the arrangement of the reservoir chamber.
