You can do it from below but kind of hard to see so you'd have to stick your finger in the unit and feel for the level. Usual method is to get something to stand on and lean way over the left fender near the hood hinge. Under the steering column down low you should see the top of reservoir. If no one has reversed the lid, the screw on cap will be visible and accessible. Remove cap and check that fluid is almost to the bottom lip of threads. It is a good idea to keep an eye on the fluid. The units have been known to suck the reservoir dry if seals leak and a relief port has closed or been blocked. If you remove the lid or cap and see any kind of debris or chunks of solid like material floating around, it would be a very good idea to get the unit serviced and possibly rebuilt.
