    Had whining in power steering and found reservoir empty. Took Tacoma (2010) in for service and, had hoses, connectors, and flush of power steering unit (two weeks ago). Got home yesterday and noticed fluid in the reservoir was far above all fill lines.

    Novice question...is there, or what is the danger of having an excess quantity of fluid in the power steering reservoir?

    thanks
