Default power steering resovoir


I have a very slow leak in my power steering, so i was told to keep the power steering fluid topped up until i could get the money to get the steering fixed. I have just realized that after about 20 minutes of searching, i can not find the power steering fluid reservoir. I was looking on the right (when sitting in the car) front fender, in the engine bay (as i thought that was a likely place, and i can't find anything.

any help would be arreciated, thanks.

On my 95 6.0, you can barely see it, drivers side, down low also. You'll need a flashlight. The upper radiator hose is in the way, and I have to remove the hose in order to check the fluid. Unless you have very small hands, its difficult to get the cap off also. The guy at the local gas station will never get to it while filling your tank. Good luck. Keith

thanks all =)

i found it, and with the help of a REALLY long funnel was able to get some fluid in there, so she sounds better now.

(i'm a really skinny guy so getting there wasn't an issue, it was the worry of burning myself *laughs*)

thanks again, guys.
