The steering fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment of your car and can typically be found near the power-steering pump. It is usually a transparent plastic container that has a cap on top with markings for “low”, “fill”, or “full”. You should check your owner's manual to determine its exact location as it may vary from model to model. If you are having difficulty locating it, you could always consult an auto mechanic who will be able to help you find and inspect it more easily. Checking and replacing the steering fluid regularly (as specified by your manufacturer) helps ensure proper lubrication of all components in your vehicle's power-steering system; this allows for smooth operation when turning the wheel so that accidents can be avoided while driving.
