Power steering reservoir location?
help needed! Jus tricked up my trans am (1985), drove over 100 miles and at the end power steering went. Looks to be a bad hose connection but can’t see reservoir to top up? I was expecting a plastic reservoir with a screw off cap? Am I way out? See pic... Top right leaky hose, but where’s reservoir?

thank you, is that the portion to the left hand side rear of the photo? There is an Allen screw hole locked with a bit-is that the full point?

Well yeah, that isn't the right fitting. Should be a tube fitting with an O-ring.

How about sharing a photo from a bit further back so we can see what someone has tried to do here?

Thanks Drew,

reservoir located (finally) and temp repair put on pipe. Booked in garage this morning for rear light conversion so be UK road legal so I’ll get them to have a look. A few other small issues I’m looking at but all in all very happy...

thanks again for the help..
