Are you wanting to top it off or flush it/change it all out?

The Power Steering fluid reservoir is on the right-hand (passenger) side of the car, toward the firewall. It is down very low and will be difficult to check with the engine warm (access is fairly tight.) I used a small syringe to squirt in a small amount of power steering fluid. Although the dipstick had shown it to be full, if I had taken a corner at a good clip in my '04 or turned very sharp, it would whine for a long time after that because it had been pumping air through the steering system. So, I slightly overfilled it. You could also use a very long funnel or a pump that attaches to a quart bottle.

To flush it (change it all out), you could disconnect the return line and place a length of hose over the end of the line into your collection vessel. Have someone "bump" the starter (don't let the engine run) as you pour new power steering fluid in the reservoir. Continue doing this until the fluid coming out of the return line is clean.
