Hey Guys,
Im a bit confused with the brake/power steering system. I have a 87 L6 and am wondering where the Power Steering fluid goes, and where the Brake Fluid goes.
From what I gathered, the Power Steering canister is the metal can with the wingnut screw on top. And the Power steering reservoir is on top the the master cylinder. However I have seen diagrams where the metal canister is connected to the master cylinder by a hose?
So do I put power steering fluid in the metal canister and brake fluid in the reservoir above the master cylinder?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Power Steering VS Brake Fluid
Do you have an owners manual (handbook) for your car?
If not then buy one.
The power steering/braking system uses ATF (automatic transmission fluid) in the tall round metal canister, is red in color
The braking system at the Brake Master Cylinder M/C is a small rectangular opaque plastic type box with a white plastic lid/switch.
It holds Brake fluid, which is clear.
Do not mix the fluids as brake fluid is very caustic.
