Where do you put power streering fluid in a 1985 Chevy Caprice?

Power Steering fluid is poured in the power steering pump's filler hole. If you have the hood open and are looking at the engine, this is on the lower right side of the front of the engine behind the cooling fan. If your '85 caprice is equipped with air conditioning, the power steering pump will be below the compressor which is to the top right of the front of the engine. It is easiest to access the pump from the driver side of the engine.
Steering fluid should only be added when necessary. A filler cap is on top of the power steering pump and it has a dipstick attached. See if the dipstick shows any fluid on it (while the engine is cool). The dipstick has an "Add" arrow on it and shows when it is necessary to add more fluid. Add a small amount and screw the filler cap back on. Take it off again to check if the level is now where it should be (the cold mark). If not, add a bit more and repeat the process.
It is important to not overfill the pump, and that is why it is necessary to slowly add more and more fluid in small amounts until the level is correct. Keep in mind that it may fill faster than you may think.
