| Small reservoir against the back of engine bay?
I went onto the EPC and cannot find an engine bay guide, so I am asking. What is the small reservoir at the back of a G550 engine bay, near the firewall? Is it for the differential locks? And perhaps more important, how screwed am I if it's empty? I am scheduled for a full work over next weekend, but just noticed this today. What do I add, for now, brake fluid? |

That would be the reservoir for the diff locks. You're not screwed if it's empty. Just need to figure out where it is leaking from, fix it, fill it (DOT 4 I think), bleed it and then when you can find dirt area, drive around and exercise the system. |

I filled it up and the following weekend it went in for a full 100k service and they couldn't find a leak.... which means that it's been empty for a while and that the dealer didn't fill it. Just one more reason not to use my dealer.
