C180 Kompressor engine bay... what is this?

[ThumpJunkie]

Just got a call from my dad, he's put oil treatment in a reservoir he now doesn't think was designed for oil... :???:

I live 40 miles away so can't check what reservoir he's incorrectly filled, plus there are no markings on the tank for him to describe to me over the phone, so was just wondering if anyone can tell me what reservoir sits to the right and slightly below the coolant tank?

I've had a look online for some engine bay pictures but can't find any to point out where I think the reservoir in question is situated, but apparently it's to the right of the engine :???:

Cheers in advance

If its got a pulley driven by the cambelt and is mounted on the engine block drivers side then it`s the power steering pump.

Your welcome, but I probably can`t answer your next question.

There is no such thing as an oil tank so if he's put it anywhere other than the rocker cover, he's in trouble. Does sound like the power steering though.

Given that it's the power steering fluid reservoir, there can't have been a lot of room for any fluid -- therefore there can't be that much in there..... can there?
