Baja 90 rear brakes

My hand brake has a brake fluid reservoir with a plastic window on the side which is broken. Will the brakes still work? The reason I ask is that I have a 50cc with the same problem and the brakes work. However on my Baja 90 there is no pressure in the lines when I squeeze the hand brake.

Thanx in advance,

Within a hydraulic brake system, as you apply pressure to the brake lever, a pushrod exerts force on a piston within the master cylinder causing fluid from the reservoir to pressurize the entire brake line.
