Do you not have the ball shaped black bottle, as the lid should have a dip stick. The fluid should be RED if beige suggest it's been in there awhile I would drain and refill with new. You just need std PAS fluid from the local motor factors you will need between 1 and 2 liters. Take the low presure hose of the rack one with jubalee clip thats how I drained mine.

It should be Mobil 1 ATF220 which they sell in Esso petrol stations, it is automatic transmission oil and is red.
So it looks you have to change yours.

when you change the the oil you can just remove the return which is connected to the well. be carefull as it can go every where. dont just fill it up
