Hi Im Tim, and I came across a double problem, yesterday it was raining and I was backing into my drive way. As I backed I found myself yanking the wheel to get where I wanted. So I gave it some gas to see if the car was off and if was still running immediately thought hummm maybe I needed some steering fluid. So as I drove to autozone and during that period every time I Stopped it locked up, everytime I gave it gas it loosened up and drove normal. I found myself wonding the whole time I went to auto zone, and I get there I was not able to find the steering fluid cap under the hood! Please tell me if you know what this is. It is a big hazard to me. Thank you and good bye

Hi tjslim09

Yes, You have the same problem a lot of us with the 3.8 Ltr GM engine have had.

The Reservoir for the Power Steering System is located behind the right side of the engine below the Alternator. It's the same type of cap w/dipstick like we are all used to seeing up on top where it can be serviced when it should. It's difficult to service, but it can be done.

Good luck,
