Guys,
Since I bought the car (1997 VSX 2.0 16v HA), I always had that LHM over the reservoir. No matter how you clean, it comes back.
On a photo from a friend's car, I noticed his reservoir is flat at the top, while mine is a 'valley' like if the plastic got too hot and melt a little.
I was only a little worried about the effects of this (mainly wrong LHM level indication, but only by a few mms).
But now I am wondering if the distance from the suction tube to the bottom of the reservoir is small... if it is normally small, it just got smaller. That would make air leaks on the reservoir-to-pump tube get worse.
I am thinking in experimentally putting a spacer ring to make the centre of the reservoir go up a little and see if it changes anything.
Does anyone know the distance from the suction tube from the bottom of the reservoir?

LHM Reservoir to pump flow, maybe?

to check the float level, park the car on level ground raise it to its highest setting, wait for it to stop liftting, now make sure the yellow disc in the level indicator is between the two red bands, the yellow disc is the indicater not the lower copper one, as the lower disc is for conectting the contacts to put the low level warning lamp on

Thanks for the replies... I'll start to fill up to the lower circle.
The copper disc tip is great... The previous owner did fill based on this one
But I was really trying to know if someone knows the distance between the bottom of the reservoir, and the large suction tube for the pump (where the cone filter enters).
Does anyone?
