    Default Power steering fluid

    Has anyone a pic to show where it's best to drain the power steering fluid?

    Just out of interest what are the consequences (if there are any) of motoring along with a below min. level in the power steering fluid reserviour?

    Cheers

    On the bottom of the power steering pump is a hex that you remove to drain the fluid, take a turkey baster to drain as much as you can from the resovour first.

    As long as you arent having problems or noises you should be ok temporarily with it a little low.
