I have a 2005 Mini Cooper CVT and I just checked the steering fluid and it's well below the minimum mark, just above the hose that sucks the fluid. Where do I get more steering fluid? Dealer or is it something that I can get at an Autocenter or Pepboys-type place?

 

The solution is not to add more fluid--the solution is to have the vehicle towed to the dealership. Call MINI Roadside Assistance.

There have been many instances of the steering seals leaking and the fluid draining out of the system and into the steering end boots. Bet yours are filled up with fluid, leaving your reservoir empty.

Cudo's for checking your fluids!
