Can anyone tell me to what level I need to fill the power steering reservoir (on a 97 Chim 450). I'm loosing a small amount over time and the levels dropped beneath the bottom of the dip stick on the cap. The stick has several groves but no indication of whether these are min, max or irrelevant. Any ideas anyone?

There should be two lines on the "stick" and I fill up to the top of the second line. It's just like looking at any oil, and should be between the two lines.

If you are losing much fluid, I would check your hoses and then your steering rack to make sure it is not something more serious
