Checking power steering fluid lev

[DanH]

How do you do this, the reservoir is opaque.

Asking because I got some weird moaning noises during very low speed manouevring today. They were coming from NSR. Any ideas or is power steering the likely culprit?

According to manual(p19) reservoir has dipstick beneath cap.

Merry Christmas

Cheers, I'll check that. Got an old manual with mine.

Merry Christmas.

The only caution is that PS fluid expands a lot when it gets hot, so the level in the res should never be above the top mark on the dipstick attached to the cap. Do not overfill, since the fluid can expand right out of the res and onto your R. rear tire--not a good thing! It's always best to check it cold when the level should not be above the lower mark.
