Morning. New Z3 owner here. First post

Bought a '97 2.8 with 67k on the clock. Included hard top. Very tidy with Denin CAI, throttle body, chip and exhaust.

Anyways, detailing the engine bay, I noticed a lot of gunk around the power steering fluid reservoir. Nothing else is leaking. I removed the cap to clean it and noticed there's a hole in it on the side which seems to be a vent. And the fluid was low.

Is there supposed to be a hose or check valve of some sort? What's the fix or original design? Bentley manual is on the way.

Thanks all
