  and I am unable to see if there is a med/max level indication on it anywhere. Having taken off the filler cap, there appears to be an inner white plastic insert, no sign of any fluid, but looks wet inthe bottom of it. I am no motor mechanic as you can guess.

• Volvo 740 power steering fluid 23 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  In the 10 years I have owned my 740 the power steering fluid level has dropped from the max mark on the reservoir dipstick to the min. Should I be concerned about this inordinate loss of fluid? :) Actually the serious question is that I have numerous unopened bottles of Castrol TQF transmission
