Default 1983 928S: where is fill line on coolant expansion tank?

My owners manual mentions a fill line, but I don't see anything on the tank...just trying to make sure I properly top off the coolant!

Regards,

Mine "settles out" about at maybe an inch or so above the seam in the tank when cold. I get a low-level warning light if level drops below the seam minus an inch or so. I'm more concerned about it changing than what the actual level in there might be, so long as it's high enough to keep the warning off. Level gets checked before every serious use at my hose, or once a year whichever occurs first.

For all practical purposes, halfway up, at the middle seam. Really easy to see with the cap on, isnt it ? Not.
There are arrows moulded in the top half pointing at a line 5mm above the join flange.

Thanks so much!

I can see coolant down there but it's below the seam...time to top off!
