Question regarding Volvo penta 4.3 Gi

[Jhm1992]

This might be a foolish question, but I can't seem to figure out what type of fluid is supposed to go in the small container on the front bottom right of my engine. I have looked at the owners manual and the illustrations I am finding don't label it whatsoever. It is running low on the fluid in it and I can't seem to tell what it is. The tank I am speaking of is the one with the red cap in the photo I attached. Thanks in advance!

Power steering pump.

Now that you mention it, I have had a little spilling. I just emptied the power steering and refilled it. Should I try filling it up again and see if it holds?

The gi ps pump lays at a extreme angle. Look at the geometry closely as to what is really low or just the oblique angle the pump rests.

I believe that it is nearly empty. The dipstick for it is basically dry.
