Steering Issues

Guest
I have a 2005 Leon Cupra R and noticed lately that my steering pump is making more noise than usual and there are traces of damp on the nearside of the steering rack. I have the vehicle booked in at my local dealer but until then i want to check that the fluid is not running out. My question is -
Can anyone tell me where to locate the reservoir as it does not mention it my handbook and the dealers are now closed????:confused:

not sure about on the LCR but on my 110 tdi I think it is on the left of the block as you look at the engine. Reservoir is black with a green screw top, but the screw top has a slotted nipple on it to open it with a screwdriver. Sorry I cant be of more help.

Thankyou very much for that.:) problem now is it is registering well below the min which leads me to my next question... Do i have to put a particular type of fluid in to top it up as it doesn't say what it recommends in the handbook?
