Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: Location of power steering pump on 1998 Delta 88, power steering pump, delta 88


Question
My mother asked me about this, and I could not answer. Here is the problem: She is hearing a rubbing or grinding when she is attempting to turn. I believe it may be the power steering pump, but can't find it to check it. She is dropping it off at the mechanic tomorrow morning. I have looked over the entire engine compartment twice, and have not seen it. Would I just to have to fill the power steering pump, or does this sound more serious?

Answer
