the cap on top of the helm is where you add oil. go to a marine store or academy might have them. what you need is the little fitting that screws in the top of the helm and it has a hose with a cap that screws on a quart. best way to do it is find a old oil quart and cut the bottom off. screw you hose on that and then add steering fluid in the cut off bottle. fill it about quarter of the way. start turning your wheel and when you see bubbles come up through the clear hose stop and let them out. turn all the way to one side the the other letting air out. best way i found to do it by yourself. bleeding it from the cylinder is usually not needed other than the initial filling. if you do it the way i described and you keep getting air then you have some seals you need replaced.
