So I got some sound in my engine and I wanted to check the PS level... buttt....... cant find the reservoir. I know the pump is under the alternator but I cant for the life of me find the fluid.. and of couse Haynes is of no use...

 

If its the same as the Bonneville, which i'm sure it is...the reservoir is a total pain in the *** to get to. Its at the rear on the engine at the bottom on the left side. So if your standing infront of your car with the hood open, on the left side all the way at the rear of the engine bay at the bottom (same level as A/C condensor, but kinda directly across from it) is where the reservoir is for the power steering. There is a big wire set covered in a platic wire insulator sitting on top of the cap for the reservoir too, which makes it that much harder to find. If you locate the alternator (right there up top) and just start searching deep down low with w flash light near the serpentine belt, you will find it...Make sure the engine is not very hot, or you will burn to death trying to get the cap off, putting it back, and then pulling it back up to check the level....Hope this helps man!

 

Definitely! Thanks. Im gonna check it out at lunch after it cools down cause my engine is making a real bad metallic sound (doesnt sound like a PS pump issue though)...

**edit: Found it!! Damn the black metal pipes in the engine remain hot for a long time.. pump was full, good to know. Thanks again
