Power Steering Fluid

Okay, I'm guessing this might be a fairly ignorant question that follows, but here goes.

I bought a 2003 Jetta 1.8T Wolfsberg edition, but I can't seem to find where to put the power steering fluid and the owner's manual says nothing about it. I've had other cars and they've had the resavoir for the fluid, but I can't seem to find it on this one. Can someone help?

Re: Power Steering Fluid

Pretty sure it's about the middle of the far left side of the engine compartment. It'll have a green cap with a slot in the top to use a key or similar to open it with. As I said, pretty sure anyway

I don't know too much about VW, but it could have an electronic rack and pinion?

Remember to put in ONLY VW fluid. VW uses a special synthetic ps fluid that lasts 100k miles. Dont put in atf unless you want ps pump problems.
