This is for an 1984 FC35.
We have a slight steering fluid leak and need to check/add fluid.
What is the easiest access to the reservoir?

Gary,
I used to have similar problem with my 83 FC, you may considder
creating a vent in the Reservoir lid to eliviate some pressure while
your at it.

My reservoir looks different and is loacted differently than your
pictures but the combination of the descriptions and your pictures
gave me the confidence to throw power steering fluid into it.
The squeeling has almost stopped.
What FC group? Where?

to upgrade the hoses, insulate them, add a cooler and enlarge the
reservoir. Fluid runs too hot on the original system. I was able to
reduce fluid temperatures by about 100 degrees with the changes I
made.
