The fluid should be between the two lines on the side of the reservoir. Make sure the petcock on the pump is turned fully clockwise.

If you still have trouble post again.

If you still have the original fluid, it may need to be flushed...the old fluids tend to gel.

It would help if we knew what year car. You can add this to your signature if you open the USER CP in the black bar at the top of the page.

If the fluid is green it's Pentosin CHF 11S, which is correct. If yellow, the system must be flushed with Pentosin.

OP says a clicking sound from the boot when the button is pressed, may be a bad relay. In the boot just rear of the battery there's a fuse/relay box, all the relays are the same type, try moving them around.
