there is a 12mm nut on the steering box that will drain the steering fluid, you have to turn the steering to just the right spot to get it to drain. These usually leak on the high pressure line but, because of the plastic outer casing it drips onto the steering box so check the high pressure line. When you refill, fill up the resevoir and turn the steering fully to each side a few times this will fill up the steering box and get rid of most of the air.
