You mean the brake caliper, yeah? The reservior should be mounted on your handle bar.
You've most likely got air in the brake system, which means that it'll need bleeding. Take a peek in the FAQ section for a guide on bleeding your brakes. ____________________ TiN

Yes, it's your brake lines that need bleeding. "Brakes" covers your caliper(s), reservoir, and line(s). Fluid is pumped from the reservoir through the line(s), and to the caliper(s). If you get air in your brake line they will feel spongy (if you can feel anything at all that is). ____________________ TiN

Ideally, although the primary use of the hose isn't for checking if air is coming out, but more to ensure that brake fluid doesn't dribble nicely all over your caliper. ____________________ TiN
