You can add a header tank and inspect the fluid level, but how would you add a low fluid sensor? Adding a sensor to the header tank would be pointless.

I think the tank is best, you look and if it's down you start to worry.

Cool, what is it made from? Does it have a cap or does it go commando like Woody recommends?

Dave, when you click on that thumbnail pic., there are a few other pic.'s above it in the gallery display. If not, they are in my gallery. That little tank is a power steering reservoir off a BMW. They are very inexpensive and can be gotten on E-Bay. Beaner said that if you bring it to him, he can install it for you.

Edit: Sorry for the threadjack Tebow.
