I have no idea where the reservoir is or if there is any particular PS fluid I should get. Feed me with your knowledge!

Default After you fill it be sure to keep a very close watch on it.

Check it at least a few times a week. If the level goes down again you obviously have a leak and something will need to be fixed. Also do not top it off with anything but the OEM fluid which is pentosin chf-11s. I know they sell it at napa.

When my power steering started groaning I ended up having to replace the pump ($800). Then a month or two later the rack went out ($1600). My fault for holding the wheel cranked while doing donuts. Pretty expensive lesson I learned there.
