Where in hells name is the power steering reservoir for an 89 Cabriolet? I believe the power steering unit on my newly acquired car has a leak and I need to check the fluid level.

Should be right next to the battery, I believe.

I forgot that the cabbies are different. I think it's next to the radiator on the passenger side.

If that is the reservoir for the power steering, where do you add transmission fluid? I thought that one was for the transmission!

Automatic or Manual?

It should have a dipstick on that model. If so, fluid goes in there.
