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
Hard to steer, leaking fluid all over the place. Check and make sure the power steering fluid is full before taking it to a mechanics, if the power steering is full and it's still hard to turn or more difficult than before AND is NOT leaking fluid everywhere it could be the PS pump.
The whine is an indicator the power steering unit is low in most cases. If the fluid is at the proper level then the power steering pump is most likely going out.
at the back of the engine on the right side of the car.it is a tight squeeze to get to the pump so I suggest checking the fluid when the engine is cold.
the cap of the Power steering fluid is below the Alternator between the engine and firewall/bulkhead on
passenger side of car. About 12- 14 inches below the Alternator. Good luck
On the passenger side of the car towards the rear of the engine buy the belt should be a black cap with either a picture of a steering wheel or marked power steering.remove the cap and fill it so the fluid lines up with the mark on the dipstick marked full or full cold
Just guessing. Could it be a warped brake disk? That would cause vibration. And vibration in steering might conceivably cause splashing out the power steering reservoir. You would know if the disk were warped by a shudder when you brake at hight speeds.
