Probably through the transmission fluid level dipstick tube. Use a funnel, obviously. :)
DOT 3 brake fluid
On a ( 1996 ) Ford Escort the brake fluid reservoir is also the clutch fluid reservoir
If it is like the ( 1996 ) Ford Escort : The BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR is also the CLUTCH FLUID RESERVOIR
As long as it is DOT3 brake fluid you are fine.
Its hidden down next to the brake fluid resevoir
Use mercron automatic tranmission fluid and do not overfill.
R134a
According to the 1998 Ford Escort Owner Guide : ( Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used as the power steering fluid )
Unless the cap on the reservoir says use Power Steering Fluid only use Mercon Automatic Transmission Fluid.
Use a turkey baster to suck old fluid out, refill with new fluid.
