The power steering fluid level is indicated by marks on a fluid level indicator. The fluid level indicator is located on the fluid reservoir cap. Inspect the fluid level when the engine compartment is cool. Ensure that the fluid level is at the FULL COLD mark. When the engine compartment is hot, ensure that the fluid level is at the HOT mark.

Located on back side of engine below the alternator

Power steering fluid

Locate the power steering reservoir under the hood.
Check the fluid level against the marks on the dip stick; there are hot and cold marks.
Add fluid as specified in your owners manual to keep the level at the appropriate mark.

2005 buick regal - where to put power steering fluid? Rubbing noise difficulty steering

You will find the power steering pump at the front of the engine, ( that is to say where the belts are ). It is a black plastic knob with a dip stick attached. Remove it, wipe it and reinsert it with the engine off. Remove it again and note the level on the level indicator on the stick. Use only GM fluids. If you still can't find it then think backwards..There are ony so many things that you can fill under the hood. Engin oil, Transmission fluid, Windshield washer fluid, brake fluid. If you find all of them pretty much the only on let is steering fluid.

I have a buick lesabre 1997 when i drive long way the transmation gets hot and start ripping and i have to put it in lower gear

If you mean your transmission starts slipping. First thing you should always do. Check your transmission fluid levels, if your transmission fluid is low, use the proper amount of fluid right away. If this takes care of the problem, then I would highly recommend keeping a close eye on your transmission fluid levels from now on. Always keep plenty of Dextron 3 automatic transmission fluid on hand so you can top of the transmission if the dip stick is showing the slightest indication that your getting low. Fluid levels should touch the top line on the dip sticks level indicator. For best result check the transmission fluid levels when you first start the engine up for the day.

If it's been 35.000 miles since your transmission was last serviced, it may be due time to have a transmission flush and filter replacement.

Take care of the problem now, while you have a chance of saving the transmission, so it will not lead to costly replacement.
