    This could possibly be the dumbest post ever, but I can't find my power steering resevoir! I've had two mechanics look under my hood and we've indentified all the others but that one. I own a Grand Prix 2005 3.7L. Thanks everyone...

    Ya what he said down under the alternator.
    I didn't realize it was even there till I changed my water pump and had to take off the power steering pump to get to one of the bolts for the water pump.

    Basically what hes trying to say is it's in a terrible spot.

    If your mechanics can't tell you were the power steering pump is at...I think you need new mechanics.

    buy a small bottle, put it down there and pour.

    And yes, i did keep the engine pull brackets/bolts.

    ::sigh:: thanks everyone! One of my goals tomorrow is to get under my hood and do some searchin. I might be a girl, but that don't keep me from gettin dirty! If that fails, I'll prolly just go down the street with a low cut shirt on, and ask for help from the local parts store. It's worked before!

    Some one needs to go to a junk yard and get a filler neck and dip stick from a 4.3l blazer p/s pmp and see if it works in ours. Might have to bend it a bit.
