snotters r us

as an aside heres an odd little one for you,im looking at a 1.6 05 focus petrol with the standard power steering fault,looked at the reservoir and its bang on the max,sounds like no fluid tho?take the cap off and shine a torch down,yup,empty.the shadow from the mount/block makes it look like exactly on the max.if id serviced it I wouldn't have looked twice,maybe other guys out there have spotted the same but it sure helps explain the amount of em I see with the power steering groaning its guts out and no fluid in em even with what are sometimes very minor leaks.if no one sees the level dropping it aint ever gonna get topped up.
