Top it up if needed under the drivers seat in the plastic bottle marked as steering fluid. If it does need topping up you need to find out where it's gone - usually the top pinion seal on the steering rack just below where the steering column connects to it.
I haven't changed my steering fluid as I had a minor leak for a couple of years that musta done at least a couple of changes of fluid :wink: Dandywarhol used a method of disconnecting the return hose from the reservoir/bottle using the pump to pump out the fluid & put fresh in as it drops (I think) but you gotta be pretty quick as you don't want it running dry.

Found it
