BMW Repair: power steering on 2000 bmw 8hs 323i, oil filter housing, power steering fluid


Question
My power steering fluid has a slow leak.  Is there a power steering fluid resorvoir?  If not, how do I rectify this situation?  Thank you !

Answer
Howard, the resevoir is next to the oil filter housing. Usually the two low pressure lines leak from the resevoir. One is suction from the resevoir to the steering pump and the other is the return from the cooler back to the resevoir. Also replace the resevoir cap O-ring seal (hard to see but it is there). The fluid should be red ATF.
