powers steering resevoir
Does anyone have a picture of the power steering resevoir? I think I might be low and dont want to put power steering fluid where it should not go!
I know this is a dumb question but I appreciate your help.
thanks!

its the small black reservoir on the drivers side of the engine that is infront of the driver's side cylinder head/valve cover. The cap is about 2" in diameter. Also, this reservoir is bolted to the front of the engine above the p/s pump.

Warm your engine up to normal operating temperature. Turn your engine off. Let fluid go down off the walls for 2 minutes. Check the level by looking at the cap's inside probe. Check and correct oil level If necessary. Good luck.

The dipstick has levels for both cold engine temp. and warm temps.

There is a reason for that. Cold check means surrounding conditions of +20 Celcius. And weather is not always +20, now is it?
All the best!
