1. An oil reservoir assembly for a vehicle, comprising:
a first oil reservoir having an outlet;
a second oil reservoir in fluid communication with a master cylinder of the vehicle, having an inlet and spaced apart from the first oil reservoir in a width direction of the vehicle;
a connecting member extending between the outlet of the first oil reservoir and the inlet of the second oil reservoir and configured to convey a working fluid from the first oil reservoir to the second oil reservoir; and
a first rib disposed within the second oil reservoir, protruding downwardly from an upper surface of the second oil reservoir, extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and adjoining the inlet in the width direction of the vehicle,
wherein, when the vehicle turns, an air pocket is formed on a side of the first rib in the width direction and blocks the inlet of the second oil reservoir to suppress a backward flow of the working fluid from the second oil reservoir to the first oil reservoir.
