Your owner's manual also has the procedure for accessing the engine compartment. It can be kind of intimidating the first time, but it is pretty easy and only takes a few moments once you get used to it.

Here's a download for the 2005 Boxster manual if you don't have a hardcopy:

Page 185 for opening the engine compartment and page 189 for the procedure to check the power steering fluid. NAPA auto parts usually carries The Pentosin CHF 11 S.

Guys,

Thank you very much for the videos; I do have the manual but thanks for the link. This is exactly what I'll do first before I take the car in anywhere. You're right, it does look a little intimidating since I've never done it before - but nothing over the top either. I'll definitely give it a shot!

Thanks again.
