I'm on a similar boat here too (ditto on the 85 1.9) I changed the oil
this past weekend and while peeking around the engine noticed that the ATF
fluid reservoir was below the MIN line.  ATF ? I thought.  But my Westy is
a Manual! After looking thru the archives I'm getting the idea that this
is the power steering fluid reservoir, but if so, is there a MTF?? Are our
Westys also composed of 90% fluids like the human body or what!!

PS: BTW I'm L.A.I.Rd too
