Power Steering Fluid - Reservoir Location(s)



I'm in the process of tracking down a creaking (squeaking) problem with my
steering (1988 735i).  There was a similar reference on this Bimmer.org site
(http://www.bimmer.org/e32/messages/archive/msgsy2001w18/19483.html).  I may
have the same problem.

Before I assume it is the belt I want to eliminate the question of Power
Steering Fluid. Question:  There is reference to two fluids and locations:

Red  - Dextron III
Green  -  Pentosin Chf 7.1

The dip stick to the right of the oil dip stick (when facing the engine from
the driver's side) is coated in the red fluid and seems to be at an adequate
level.

I have no idea where these reservoir are located. I think I found the green
one. It is located on the driver's side and sits atop a unit that seems to
extend to the steering wheel.  Am I correct and where is the other reservoir
located?  I want to make sure that the fluids are topped up.

Thanks

Daniel
