There are two reservoirs. Upper and lower. The lower is a pain in the a$$, but doable. Lot's of sentence enchanting words, removal of the crossover intakes, TB, and partial removal of the A/C compressor is involved. Usually, the main reason the upper is dry is the PS fluid has puked out (too hot and expanding) of the overflow tube, right on top of the engine. Makes a complete mess, and is also pretty difficult to clean up as there are fairly deep nooks and crannies on the top of the engine. I love my Boxster, but Porsche didn't do a great job with the PS design. If you track your car, the issue can be worse.
