Steve,

I guess you have enough fluid??

Joke aside, the pump sits on top of the tank, so you need to drop it. By
looking in my manual, I can see you need to unscrew the big plastic castle nut
under the carpet, and two sheet metal screws on the underside. Then the tank
will drop, and the pump will appear.
