The pump in my 2004 cab looks like that one too.

Similar issue

My hydraulics are the same... horizontal and not vertical. Uk 997 2005 2S ... did you complete the job and if so where did you fill? I do have an hexagonal screw in the centre but your post as made me doubt if this is the full point!

I have the same on my 04, at the end of the plastic reservoir you will see a allen plug, remove the plug after you set the top in the middle of travel, use a turkey baster with a tube to fit in the hole and fill. easy peasy with the turkey baster, PIA otherwise.

di you ever figure this out? I am in the same situation. Tried to remove the allen screw and use a syringe, but the tube will not go in far enough and the oil seems to be spilling out !!!!!
