Iv got a facelift E53 and cant for the life of me find where to check the power steering fluid level.

Any ideas please.

Thanks guys

Power Steering reservoir is beside the Oil Filter housing on the nearside front of the engine bay . Unscrew the cap and it has its own level indicator

That’s the one. There isn’t one for the transmission so in this case the ATF is for the PAS.
