yes, the real question is, how different is its odor from brake fluid odor?
No!
Its at the back and below the engine.. to fill it pull the dipstick marked POWER STEERING which is at the back of the engine to the left of the airfilter box.. and add fluid to the level marks on the dipstick
could be several places, power steering hose, rack and pinion (or steering gear box) or power steering pump.
If the reservoir keeps losing fluid.
Not as bad as putting a little bit of power steering fluid in the brake reservoir, but I would have the power steering system flushed just the same. Problems wouldn't happen soon but in the long term they will.
power steering fluid is fluid that makes the power steering pump work and it goes in the power steering pump under the hood.
The power steering fluid recommended is Mopar

What will happen if u I added power steering fluid to a leaking power steering pump
Transmission fluid should not be used in place of power steering fluid. Power steering fluid is less compressible so that it can transfer power to different systems. Transmission fluid is meant for lubrication and has higher dimulsibility than power steering fluid.
Power steering fluid is basically clear. Some cars use transmission fluid in the power steering which is dark red. You can use power steering fluid in cars that use transmission fluid but not the reverse. The cap of the reservoir should say power steering fluid only.
