Follow the serpentine belt -- #3 pulley is the PS pump. If you need to add a little fluid, use the proper Pentosin PS fluid #CHF11S. If you have to add a lot of fluid, then the system has a leak which needs to be fixed before you do anything else. Sorry, can't take a picture since my wife has the car and she's out of town for a few days.

Also, the fluid level is different whether you're measuring it hot or cold -- refer to the markings on the small dipstick attached to the PS pump cover.

Regards,
