WARNING! Do not remove the cap if the engine is warm, hot coolant may spray out and cause severe burns!
There are coolant level marks printed on the side of the reservoir. Because of the age of the plastic reservoir, it is no longer transparent. This means the coolant level cannot be checked without removing the cap an looking inside.
