Where do pour the power steering fluid in at a 1997 Chevy silverado?

The power steering fluid reservoir on a 1997 Chevy Silverado is usually located on the driver's side of the engine compartment. It's often a small, cylindrical reservoir with a cap that might be marked with a power steering symbol (a steering wheel often with an arrow) or the words "Power Steering Fluid".

However, there's no single definitive location. The exact placement can vary slightly depending on the engine size and specific trim level.

To locate it:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best source of information. It will have a diagram showing the location of all fluids.

2. Look closely at the driver's side of the engine bay: Search for a small reservoir, possibly plastic, with a cap, and check for markings.

3. Use an online parts diagram: Many auto parts websites (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to select your specific year, make, model, and engine, then view a diagram of the engine compartment. This can help you visually pinpoint the reservoir.

Important Note: Before adding any fluid, check the fluid level first. Overfilling can be just as harmful as underfilling. The reservoir usually has minimum and maximum fill lines.
