Well.... after 5 minutes looking for the power steering pump reservoir, there is hardly any room to get my hand in there and check the fluid level. I also installed an aftermarket stabilizer bar and it its right on top of the coolant hoses. I'm at work and I don't have my tools to take the bar out and check the fluid. I will post something tonight after I get home and remove the stabilizer bar. (What a place to put the power steering pump )
