You will have to reach just below and in front of the the alternator to get to it. You will also need a funnel with a long tube (transmission funnel will work) to reach it without making a mess.
Where is the power steering fluid for a 1997 Buick Regal LS 3.8 liter engine?
you need power steering fluid.
Assuming this is a 3800 Buick engine the power steering pump is on the left side (hood up looking into the engine bay) of the engine toward the firewall (back side of engine).

Checking, inspecting and topping of the power steering (PS) fluid on a 1997 Buick Regal is a routine and simple procedure. The engine should be shut off and the vehicle parked in a safe location. Care should be exercised if the engine is hot. The PS cap can be located under the hood with the symbol of a steering wheel on it. The cap is also the dip stick of level. Once the level is determined top off fluid can be added. If fluid needs to be constantly added it is an indication of a leak and service will needed.
