I've noticed a small fluid patch on the garage floor for a few weeks now and have noticed a noisier power steering. Had a quick look in the dark for a power steering resevoir to check levels but couldn't find it!

Can someone tell me where it is please?

Ta!

Err...stab in dark, as i'm not sure either.

If you unscrew the PS (blue) cap is there a dipstick which shows the level?


maybe i'm the only dipstick

What he said, can be a bugger to see, especially in the dark

I've had so many fluid leaks recently can find it in the dark !!

Location as quoted is correct , if you can't tell front from back , if the engines hot the manifold will let you know which way front is !!

Thank you gentleman, I'll try to have a look in the daylight.

Mr Hyde, what would we do without your technical tips, the manifolds suggestion is priceless
