Question
Location of power steering fill on 1998 Buick LaSabre custome

Answer

Power Steering Pump
Please see the attached image, showing the 'Power Steering Pump' on a Buick V-6. Right below the Arrow in the photo, is the Cap on the 'Power Steering Pump Reservoir.' You unscrew that Cap, then fill the Reservoir from there. There should be marking on a shaft extending down from the Cap that indicates what constitutes full for the Reservoir, however, if there isn't any such 'Dipstick' extending from the Cap, then simply fill the Reservoir until the fluid is about 1/4 of the way into the 'Filler Neck' of the Reservoir. Make sure you use 'Power Steering Fluid', NOTHING else.
