Clean around the lid, carefully open it and look down into it. Should be able to see the condition of the fluid and level

If you have a small pick the screen can come out just be gentle.. otherwise clean the outside of the fluid reservoir and use a flashlight to backlight it and rock the truck a little, should see it move
