i have a 1986 rx 7 ok im a big noob with cars, so when i pop the hood now i know i have my clutch fluid and break fluid, and oil on the top right side, and my rad fluid on the bottom but this is where im puzzled because i could not find this in the manual i have this other fluid in the very very top left corner errr if anyone could give me a hand on what this is that would be much help thanks!! looks a bit low and i would much like to fill it up quite soon!!!

Probably sub-zero start assist fluid...
Mazda TSB says to remove it + lines and cap fittings on manifold.

Can you post a pic?

just did some research and yeah you are right it is sub zero start assist fluid i cannot take any pictures at the moment because its late and i dont want to go outside haha but yeah any reason why it needs to be removed i live in canada and it can get quite cold in the morning i think it may be still working there is no corrosion on the lines to the engine

Mazda recommend to remove it cause...it doesn't work.
It's more headache than it's worth.
It will induce an intake vacuum leak when the valve fails.
With the cars in the 20 - 25 years old range, it's most likely bad anyways.
