Power Steering Fluid
So I just got a 1987 Buick Lesabre and I can't figure out where the Power Steering Fluid goes! I found where the brake fluid goes but not for the steering.

We bought a brand new 87 LeSabre the fall of 86 and at first it was a nice step up from our 84 Century. The 3.8L 6cyl got better fuel economy than the 3L in the Century but it became a disappointment within 6 months when it began stalling and then the fuel pump began getting loud to the point that 2 people sitting in the backseat couldnt even have a conversation. The 2nd year it spent about the same amount of time in the shop as in our garage. Could not wait for the 90 MY to arrive as I was aware GM was making improvements in 88 & 89 & our neighbors 88 was not having the issues our 87 had. I would avoid the 87 MY LeSabre and get a 88, 89 or 90, besides the refresh of the 90 LeSabre it was a new series 3800 and the best engine for GM in the 90s in terms of performance and fuel economy. 30mpg was a easy accomplishment and it was a quiet car too.

I like a lot about this car I just don;t like that I can't find where the power steering fluid goes. Besides that the car is amazing! The thing I think most about it is the fact that I can rely on it a lot right now!Aug 25, 2014

My first Buick was an '88 Century. This LeSabre is a keeper. It is a ride from the past. When having plush seating, soft curves, and hood ornaments was still cool. I have zero complaints. What needs to be done to revive and restore this gem will be done...under construction.Jul 18, 2011

Its a great little car, has a non-turbo charged Buick GNX motor, high torque axles, front and rear sway bars and a 3 speed transmission with over drive. Its pretty banged up in the back( thanks Amber) But on the inside its constantly complimented for having an extremely comfortable interior and ride. Since it has arrived here on base it have been affectionately refereed to as "The Burgundy Tank" because its such a durable machine. It will start in -80 degree weather and plow right through 2 foot snow drifts with ease. I'll hate to see it go when I leave for Korea. It is 1 of 4123 vehicle built with that package in 1987 and it was the only year they also had the GNX interior package which was gray and black. Oh and I cant forget, despite its little old lady appearance its actually pretty fast.Aug 30, 2009

I love my Buick!!! But it is a Buick so the heater and air conditioner don't work. The passenger side window doesn't work and same with the seat belt. The car is beautiful and black! It's actually a LaSabre T-Type. I love my little Ick... haha!Jan 28, 2009

We had one of these in the Estate Wagon trim in white. It was mammoth of a car. It was pretty slow, didn't handle very well, but it can swallow 8 people comfortably, carry 8' x 4' pieces of plywood, and could probably tow too if we had a hitch. Lots of memories in this car.May 01, 2008
