| Variable level of power steering liqud |
|
Hi,
had bonnet open today with engine running and noticed that the power steering liquid level changes constantly in the reservoir 
It almost looked like it was "boiling" (for no better analogy that comes to my mind). Does not matter if you move the steering wheel or not. Do not remember noticing this before... 
Can anyone check theirs for me or let me know if this is normal...
Thanks  D3 XS Manual - gone

i think you will find this is normal, the fluid moves whilst the engine is running due to the pump constantly running providing pressure and flow in the fluid circuit

That's what I thought. Especially when there are two pipes going into the reservoir.... One must be return from the pump etc.
Just haven't noticed that before D3 XS Manual - gone
