The power steering reservoir is at the right front (as you face the car) of the engine. It will have the drive belt connected to a pulley at the front of the reservoir/pump. If you unscrew the cap of the reservoir/pump, you'll see that it is also a dipstick to tell you the fluid level, speaking of which, since your car is 12 years old, you'll need to confirm what fluid is in the system, i.e., Power Steering Fluid or Brake Fluid which many owners use. AutoZone or any of the parts places can help you determine that. Last, if the fluid is low, it went somewhere via a leak. Most often it's the high pressure hose or fitting that's the culprit; it needs to be repaired.
