Normally the power steering reservoir should be higher than the pump as it's gravity fed.... if you want to get fancy you could pump it into the pump lol

As for the rad overflow, it really shouldn't matter because it's pressure fed

thanks

what do you mean pump into the pump though?

I was thinking of using this upside down, reckon it would be ok?

what i mean is that the fluid has to get into the Power Steering Pump somehow, so if you install the Reseviour somewhere lower than the pump, it's going to have a hard time getting into the pump.

Therefore, if you were dead set against putting the reseviour in your engine bay, higher than the PS pump, you'd have to put an electric pump in line with it and pump the fluid into the pump... but that would just be silly
