It appears it is under the AC Compressor. Both appear to share a belf for their repsective pumping activities. It should be possible to locate by tracing the hoses from the Power Steering Fluid resevoir (where you add fluid) to the devices behind pullies under the the air filtration system

Firstly, I've never heard of a power steering system with a filter in it. I see no reason for said filter. And you never have to flush a power steering system. Any time I add fluid, I never use power steering fluid in a bottle that's labeled to be for that. It's much more expensive than transmission fluid, which is the same fluid. Unless of course these newer vehicles have added some things that really are not needed. Like a power steering fluid filter!!!! There's no such thing. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but you're going to have to prove it to me.
Coolant in 50% concentration goes into the coolant overflow bottle. Windshield wiper fluid into the wiper fluid bottle. Power steering fluid into the power steering fluid bottle. You do not need to add any other fluids to these. Do not add water to the washer fluid bottle for example, if you drive in a climate that would allow it to freeze.
The cap for the power steering fluid is located to the rear of the engine on the left side and quite a distance down from the top. It is not easy to get to and you need to be very careful not to burn yourself when accessing it since it is near the exhaust manifold. Best to top it off when the engine is cold.
the power steering fluid resevoir is located on the passenger side of the engine compartment near the fire wall. mostimes in order to fill it you have to remove the altenator to remove the fill cap to add the fluid.
if I remember correctly it is located under the hood on the drivers side near the firewall. the resevoir is metal. The top to the resevoir may be secured with a nut. remove the nut and the cap. you might see a screen if it is still there. before adding fluid, step on the brake pedal about 10 times with the engine not running. then you can add fluid. your car should use ATF for the p/s fluid.
