anyone know where the level is supposed to be in the ahc tank? I have a 2010 lx570, it is working fine but the previous owner had the fluid changed and I want to make sure it is filled up. Do I have to check it at normal ride height?
 
Yes check it at normal. There Are max/min lines on the tank. The tank access is behind the passenger side rear wheel, one bolt to remove the door. I have found it easiest to remove the spare tire to put a light behind the reservoir so you can better see the level from the wheel well.

I just did my fluid level swap last week. I really was tempted to drop the spare, but I ended up using one of my kids headlamps and was able to put it on the far side of the reservoir pointed towards me and get a good visual of the fluid level.
 
Ok, so should it be at max at normal ride height? Should I have the engine running when I check it or does it not matter?

This! I sat a shop light on my spare so it shined through the tank - makes it much easier to check the level.

The tank will be at it's highest at low ride height, but will be really hard to see because the tire is in the way. If you check at normal height, ideal fluid level would be between the min and max lines.
