Operation: How to intervene on the power steering problem on the Mini R53?

In this video, we talk about the little-known problem of the power steering pump on the Mini R53: the pump can seize, leaving you without power steering, or it can get stuck in the on position and continue working even when the car is turned off, which is very dangerous because the car can even catch fire. The only way to turn it off is to disconnect the battery. We see where the pump is located, which can be clearly seen from underneath and the YouTuber points it out to us, and then we see where the reservoir for its oil, which is a green CHF 11S, is located next to the coolant reservoir, and we see the indications for the minimum and maximum levels. Usually, the pump doesn't fail suddenly, but it gives signals with malfunctions that become more and more frequent.
