ZRE152 different fluids in the car

[pezzie]

Hey guys, i had spare time and thought i'd give my car a little maintenance and check the fluids in the engine. It's the first time i've done this and had trouble trying to find the brake fluid location because i was trying to find something brownish in colour. But mine is green, is that normal? i replaced my brake fluid at my last service. i also want to check the other fluids.

Starting from the top left (when looking at the engine):

plastic top part - brake fluid

Pink Stuff - transmission fluid/power steering? im not 100% on what it actually is.

Plastic thing under that - washer fluid

Radiator - im assuming engine coolant is around there under the plastic, i didnt have time to take off the plastic

If you guys can confirm with me whether im looking at the correct fluids in the right area. I'll start doing weekly checks after i know where everything is located.

the pink stuff is coolant mate.

ps: no power steering fluid as the car is drive by wire.

Electric power steering =/= drive-by-wire. There is still a physical connection between the steering-wheel and the steering rack, just the power assistance is electric rather than hydraulic.

that's nice, but he wasn't asking about how the steering works?
