fluid

Thanks for all your reply. There is a very bad fluid leak in my car. Not sure what fluid is leaking. But I noticed this reservoir is empty. Can anybody please verify if this reservoir is for brake fluid? If yes, where can I get this fluid and what kind so that I can re-fill it in order for me to drive to the mechanic.

that is the resavior for the power steering. But you can use ATF.

regular ps fluid works for me

follow the hoses from the bottom of the resevoir to the pump and make sure the clamps are on securely mine were loose as shit the last time i had a leak

I just spoke to Rohan. Yes, he works at Midas now. Might bring my car on Friday morning.

ATF Question. Where can I get the ATF fluid? Pepboys or autozone? What brand or model?

Any kind of ATF fluid is good.

I use dexcron (spelling may be off) and I've had no issues.

Thats your ATF fluid for your power steering. My E30 requires Auto trans fluid for it.

Your steering rack may be busted if that keeps draining on you after you fill it up. Fill it up (do it when the car is cold, and note that when you turn it on it will fill up about 3mm more than when cold) and see if you are leaking from the steering rack under turning. Fill according to the line though, don't just pour a ton into it.

Also, this may be a good time to look into E36 M3 steering racks for a shorter turn-to-turn ratio. Search for it.
