So if your down on fluid that doesn't necessarily mean that there is a leak) Make sure the hoses leading out of of the reservoir are tight and your good to go and make sure that the fluid is filled to the max level and you should be fine.. Hope that helps...
would removing the hose be possible? and if so, would this be a good way to drain the power steering fluid?
