To bleed the system, jack up the front so the wheels are off the ground, engine OFF and turn steering to full lock both ways a few times, return to centre position.
Check level and top up if needed.
Then repeat with engine running at fast idle, turning steering to full lock both ways, return steering wheel to centre position and check level.
Switch engine off and re-check level. It should rise no more than 5mm .
