Is there anyway you can tell me where I check my power steering fluid and where I would put more power steering fluid?

Hi,

The power steering reservoir should be on the passenger side of the vehicle under the hood. I have attached the directions for checking and filling. However, make sure to use the correct fluid. It will indicate the type on the reservoir cap.

Let me know if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
