The power sterring fluid goes directly into the top of the pump located on the pully side of the engine. Once you've located the power steering filler cap - which is on the passenger side just behind and under the alternator (I had to use a flashlight to find mine but it's visible if you lean over the front fender - passenger side) - the rest was easy. There is a cross brace by the firewall that I had to remove so I could get to the filler cap. The cross brace is held on by 4 nuts - 1/2" or 13mm - and removing them and the brace allows fairly easy access to the filler cap. Remove the cap and fill. I'd recommend using a small funnel since it's virtually impossible to get the power steering fluid bottle behind the alternator and around several hoses. A funnel made it a cinch. Check to be sure you don't over fill, replace the cross brace and you're finished.

2001 buick regal won't allow gas in gas tank

This question needs more detail. Consider trying to fill your Buick's tank by first putting gas into one of those red plastic gasoline containers. and poring from the red container into the car. Otherwise, bring your car to a mechanic.

What kind of power sterring fluid for a 2003 buick Ren

the number one mistake in newer cars is just adding automatic trans fluid to the power steering , any parts store will have power steering fluid marked for use in GM vehicles, ( most of it can be used in Fords, and other cars too, the only one I've come across that has a specific brand, is the one for Honda vehicles, )

How do i add power sterring fliuid

It is very difficult to see. You will need a long funnel. It is on the back of the right side of the engine. It will have to be cool just to reach it. screw off the top and check the dipstick. If there is no fluid on the stick, you probably have a bad pump. Adding fluid will only be a temporary solution.

This is wrong!!!! This will destroy your car. The power sterring fluid say ATF only, putting power sterring in it will destroy the steering.

Power Steering Fluid???

The power steering pump is located under the alternator near the firewall. It is hard to get to so you most likely need a funnel with a flex pipe to reach it without making a huge mess. I hope this is helpful.

Where is the power steering fluid unit found?

It is actually on the passengers side near the engine wall the pump and reservoir are made as one You will need a flash light follow the drive belt down past the alternator to the powersteering pump look for a black lid with a yellow steering wheel on top. The whole steering system takes only 3/4 quart of dextron automatic transmission fluid so do not over fill.
