Where is the Power Steering Reservoir on my 3.8L Engine?
This question is asked plenty of times, so I just wanted to post this here so people can quickly find it.
Here is the location to your Power Steering Reservoir: (I recommend getting a nice long thin funnel, or a funnel with a tube attached to it )

Power steering Reservoir
My husband did not have a long neck funnel so he improvised. He used a water bottle, cut the end off which allowed him to place the lip part in the hole and pour the power steering fluid in through the bottom of the bottle. Worked perfectly!

My husband is a marine and can side step most any problem! LOL

Funny to see this post! When we bought our '01SS last September, it came from a car lot in PA. I actually saw the ad on the Forum, and bought it over the phone because it was only $1900 (actually paid $1750). When we arrived, it was making a horrible squeal sound, and they said it was the tranny. Bill knew right away it was not, rather it was the power steering reservoir having no fluid. Well, everyone tried to find where the reservoir and couldn't, so we looked in the manual and still no one could. So, since I was the smallest, everyone elected me to prod around. I actually had to do a balancing act on/around the engine compartment to see it (the cap was completely covered in grease which made it harder for anyone to find!) Well, the guys got a good laugh anyway...at my expense... but at least I drove the 450 miles home with a car that would steer!
