Does it have a servo fitted? If so, there is normally a top-up reservoir fitted in the engine bay. Look for white plastic, about 3" diameter.
If it doesn't have the extra top-up reservoir, then top up is via the master cylinder, which is under the driver's floor.
Lift the carpet in the footwell, and you should see a big rubber bung (or a big hole).
In the hole, you can see the master cylinder lid. Unscrew and fill to about 1/2" from top.
However, make sure you haven't got the extra top-up reservoir before you do that, otherwise you'll just get a nice flow of fluid out of the master cylinder lid when you unscrew it.
