1957 Belvedere power steering leak.
Wanted to check the fluid level before adding more.
No dipstick.
Any suggestions?

Location: NorCal		If the pump has no filler neck and has a removable cover, as long as the fluid covers the filter you're OK. If no filter, 1/2" below the rim of the reservoir is OK/
