hey Vijay... it's located in the back of the car, underneath the "spare tire" well. If you go underneath the car and remove the plastic cover underneath the spare tire well you'll see 2 reservoirs together.

Hope that helps!

Thanks. I think I may have a small fluid leak from my right front shock. I noted it first when I mounted my HRE's. Not sure yet. The shock body at the slide interface felt a little moist but I'm not sure if this isn't normal. I always said that if my DRC went I would upgrade to Stasis MS or KW V3, but that until then I was reasonably content with the stock suspension.

with all the warning systems and annunciators on this car:
seat belts
passenger air bag
tire pressure
the check system, lamps, etc.
and on and on

wouldn't it be very easy to put a pressure switch on each DRC circuit and set a warning light/check system point if the pressure went low, eg, a leak?

that way people could stop worrying about this and just drive the thing...
the DRC issue is my only concern with the car...the valve deposits, not so much yet...
