You can't fill that tank all the way because the level changes as you steer one way or the other. When the cylinder is extended all the way it has more fluid in the cylinder tube than when it is retracted with the shaft inside the tube so the level in the tank goes up and down. If you fill the power steering tank all the way it will "push" some of the oil out of the cap.

Fact of the week
Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
