The device 1 for supplying a hydraulic brake fluid, termed a downstream hydraulic fluid, to a hydraulic brake circuit of a motor vehicle equipped with a clutch comprises an enclosure 2 intended to contain said hydraulic fluid, said enclosure 2 being provided with at least one outlet nozzle 20 and with an inlet orifice 21. The enclosure 2 forms a downstream portion 30 of a reservoir 3, said reservoir 3 comprising an upstream portion 31 forming an upstream enclosure 4 intended to collect a hydraulic fluid, termed an upstream hydraulic fluid, from the clutch of said vehicle; the upstream enclosure 4 comprises at least one nozzle, termed an inlet nozzle 40, serving to transfer said upstream hydraulic fluid toward the upstream enclosure 4; the inlet orifice 21 is an intermediate orifice 21' whereby the upstream enclosure 4 opens into the downstream enclosure 2', the intermediate orifice 21' being equipped with a means 5 for filtering the upstream hydraulic fluid.
