Locating filler cap for power steering

The silver cap in the second pic is coolant expansion tank. Don’t put it in there. The PS cap has a three inch post sticking out it’s bottom for measuring the fluid level, as well as fluid specifications on its top.
I believe you have a right hand drive jag right? You may need to flop my directions. Same place opposite side if you do. Mines a US lefty.

Never seen a silver cap.
The Saginaw pump has a plastic (black) cap with an integral dipstick. Maybe you got the "special" edition. Just kidding.
It is easier, haha, to remove that air cleaner cover, which includes that trumpet, then "feel" under the radiator hose, and there it be. FIDDLY is a polite word for acces. and a COLD engine is mandatory.
DO NOT overfill that thing, or you will have fluid in very odd places.
Have a beer or 3 afterwards, you will have earned them, trust us all on that one.

I like to poke a hole in the foil under the bottle cap, put my finger on it to close it, maneuver the bottle down to the pump and then release my finger plug. Finger plug it and work it out. Check level and repeat.
I never get it right with a funnel. And too much is no good here. Removing some is even more fun!

My coolant hose is obstructing access more than what JigJag's picture indicates. I cannot get the filler cap of without pushing the hose out of the way.
I use a funnel with a 10" length of hose on it, and that works fairly OK. I only make a small mess when filling, and after changing my sealings I don't expect to have to do it every 300 miles anymore...
Here shown before I fitted the coolant expansion tank again. LH air box cover is also removed.
