1996 Bonneville Power Steering Fluid Reservoir- Where is it?

Ok,

New guy here!

I'm asking for a friend. He can not find the power steer reservoir in his 96 bonne. He looked in the owners manual AND online, he can't find it!!! Can someone tell us where it is?

If it is like mine (1995), it should be on the passenger side rear of the engine(very close to the firewall). He will have to take a flashlight from the top and look down near the alternator belt to find it between the firewall and the engine block. It is a pain to reach and fill. I use a funnel with a 10 inch extension to fill it.
I hope this helps

That's right, follow the accessory belt from the alternator toward the firewall, you'll find the power steering pump & reservoir. Filler cap is also the dipstick for fluid level.
