I notice a reservoir in my '02 Mini Cooper has 'CHF 11S' printed on the cap. After a recent servicing visit to my local Mini dealer I noticed when my Mini is cold the steering has numerous rough spots that I have to work my way through, especially when attempting a three-point-turn. I figured it was a problem with the power steering, and to my dismay the reservoir with 'CHF 11S' printed on the cap is bone dry. There's *no* fluid in there even when the car is warmed up! I have no idea what my dealer did or why, but my question is does anyone know if the correct replacement power steering fluid is Pentosin CHF 11S? This reservoir is not explained in the owner's manual. I need to get this fixed immediately before the steering gives way while I'm driving.
