Yeah a power steering pump and reservoir are a bit of a give away...
I circled where it is on my motor (which is nothing like urs!)

Hi,
Apart from the reservor bottle there is a belt driven pump at the front of the motor with two hoses leading to the steering rack...if you can see two hoses connected to a steering rack then it is power assisted.
regards, kevin.

(Maybe if we were both manual (which I'm slowly working on), but the auto box behind a 5me isn't an inspiring thing in the least).
