Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

As I continue to explore my Boxster, I found that the PS reservoir was a bit low in fluid. After buying $25 worth of fluid, I added a couple ounces and now it is up on the dipstick at least. While doing I this, I noticed the following: See the small hose coming from the top of the power steering reservoir? It looks like a vent line of some sort. I can't find where it might connect to. Is it supposed to be just up in the air like that? It ends above the level of the reservoir. Thanks for any help. I guess I need to buy the Bentley book.

This hose go nowhere. It acts as a breather and overflow. On my previus car a changed it with a longer one, so it can get to the bottom of the engine.
