Brake fluid. I think it's supposed to be DOT 3 or 4. I wouldn't use DOT 5 which contains silicone.

You have three reservoirs.. One is clearly marked "Power Steering Fluid".. Generally that requires AFT.. BUT always check YOUR vehicle's Owners Manual (OR the Factory Service Manual) for the correct type fluid!
The other two "containers" are: Double Reservoir: This is for the braking system, use the proper Brake Fluid for your vehicle. Small, single Reservoir is the Clutch Fluid Reservoir.. most likely uses brake fluid, as well BUT always check YOUR Vehicle's Owners Manual OR the proper Service Manual!
When in doubt... RTFM!!

Hey brother, would love to, but I am in Bali so no real place easy for me to ask or service and this car has no owner’s manual.

This is a 1982 FJ40.

Lol, not New Years, but newbie question. Autocheck.

Be awesome if someone with either an owner’s manual or knowledge of a 1982 could help me out. Resources and language barriers are a bit of an issue for me here in Bali with this thing.

I am referring to the small one on the rail. The other 3 reservoirs seem full.

Here's a couple of good places for manuals CruiserManuals.com - https://www.cruisermanuals.com/ Toyota Land Cruiser Manuals 40's, 55, 60's - Google Drive - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5A2uNJ5ku1vfnJwbFUtTk1YaWJOeTh5VXRNai10ZC0tSHZOV0V4WHNRTVpaWHNtNm9vaUE

I already gave you the answer. DOT 3 or DOT 4 Brake fluid.

I think the "rail" you are referring to is your brake master cylinder; the rear reservoir (for the rear brakes) does look low. It says on the cap what to put in it; DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid, as @WarDamnEagle said.

While your at it, check the rear brake cylinders for fluid leaks. The fluid will displace from the reservior to the wheel cylinders as the shoes wear or cylinders leak.

To me, just looking at the image, it looks like the rear master reservoir is low, and the front reservoir looks empty….

We’re not all guessing.

I would top off the rear brake master cylinder and too off the clutch master while you are at it. Dot 3 most likely.
The bigger "front" is either real full or empty. If it is empty then you have some serious brake issues that will need to be fixed before driving it.
