BMW E36 323i Power Steering Pump Reservoir.

Don't laugh but where is it in the engine bay. Dealer says that it has a black cap with a dipstick attached ( yes! me ), but I cannot find anything like this.

Lots of groans from the power steering so I want to check the levels before I go any further.

Cheers.

Seen that, thanks gents, just a little awkward to get to. Is it really just a matter of twisting off the top to check and top up if needed?

Sorry Sniff, I was using a phone to reply so did not realise that it was you posting again.

Cheers Sniff.

Yep, a real PITA if you've got a carbo/kevlar airbox like my mate has on his M3.
