  I’m trying to make a translucent shader similar to a Windshield Washer Reservoir

  Also I need a reddish brown heavy or a thick liquid like Motor Oil or Syrup, I need I could start with Water but I’m not sure how to do the “thickness” look.

  Thanks,
  

  Probably under transparency. You'll want to try in-scattering and/or absorption. You can set colors in those channels to help drive the color. If I recall, a light color will drive a stronger effect and a darker color will be a less strong effect. Unless I'm remembering it backwards.

  This shader tree should work for the liquids......just change the color in the transparency channel.
  Below is a pick where I used yellow to make a honey look.

  Color = black

  Alpha = none

  Highlight = value 32%

  Shininess = value 51%

  Bump = none

  Reflection = fresnel term10%, Ray Depth 2, Max. attenuation 85%, Blurry reflections off
  Reflection shader = value 11%

  Transparency = fresnel term 10%, Ray Depth 4, Max. attenuation 85%
  Transparency Intensity = color Yellow (or what color you wish)
  Transparency Absorption = none
  Transparency In-scattering = none

  Refraction = material (other) value of 1.10

  Glow = none

  Subsurface Scattering = none

  Translucency = none

  Here's a list of IOR values...
