For a 1998 Olds:
The fluid reservoir is behind the radiator on the drivebelt (front) side of the engine. Follow the drivebelt around until you come to a pump attached by brackets with a screw-off cap on the top of it. The cap will have a dipstick attached to it showing levels for hot and cold fluid. Check the level with the tires straight ahead and the engine off.
On my 1998 Delta the Power Steering pump is just aft of the engine toward the firewall.

Can it hurt the steering pump by putting oil in it?
YES. your power steering pump is a hydraulic pump that pushes fluid through lines to make your wheels move. hydraulic fluid such as ATF or POWER STEERING FLUID is good for your power steering pump. it is a PUMP after all. OIL has the purpose of lubricating, and has very different qualities than hydraulic fluid. DO NOT put OIL in your power steering pump... put POWER STEERING FLUID or if you can't get power steering fluid AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID will do...

Engine oil vs power steering fluid?
Each is designed for its own place in the vehicle. I would definitely avoid putting any power steering fluid in the crankcase. I would also avoid putting motor oil in the power steering. Power steering fluid is generally thinner than motor oil and would not be an advisable alternative to put in the crankcase. Now motor oil is thicker and can potentially damage components in the power steering with prolonged use. The detergents in motor oil may cause different issues with seals in the power steering, including leaks. On older vehicles the power steering generally called for automatic transmission fluid, but using power steering fluid in its place shouldn't hurt and may actually help.
