The power steering fluid resevoir is the canister just below the distributor, it should have a wingnut holding the lid on
You might want to remove the air filter housing to get good access to it

You can use the 'search this forum' box on the top right, type in your question, and get all relevant posts from the archives.

There is no dipstick. Like Nomada said, you have to remove the wing nut, and remove the top to see the marking for the fluid level.
The power steering fluid used in my car is the same as used in the transmission, ATF 3 dextron.
Hope this helps:
