Default Power steering pump

Hey, I have a problem I think is the power steering pump low on fluid. Where is the reservoir for the power steering pump (reservoir) so I can check the fluid and add some if needed?? I looked under the hood and could not find anything. Thanks.

Not knowing what the buzz really sounds like and it's location, it could be a total lack of power steering fluid or an air bubble in the system though it is highly unlikely. Have you checked your fluid yet? Where can you tell where the buzz is coming from?

Sounds like the sound is coming from the left side when sitting in the car

Depending on your driving habits, it could be the power steering motor itself. If you turn the wheel to lock every time you make a sharp turn, it puts a lot of strain on the mechanism. If you do it every once in a while its not a big deal, if it happens frequently it could cause a problem later on down the line.

X2. Look for any kind of wear, but check the fluid levels and we'll go from there.

I have a brand new OEM GM pump with reservoir if you need one.
