There should be a resivoir near the front of the engine, generally on the drivers side. The cap usually has some raised lettering telling you that it is intended for steering fluid only. Hope this helps.
you will use regular power steering fluid. Most if not all GM's use plain old power steering fluid. Brands make no difference. Make sure the one you get is not labeled for Honda use.
There is a "pressure regulator" located in the pump just behind the high pressure line that directs high pressure fluid to the steering rack when you turn the steering wheel. It sounds like the regulator valve is sticking and not sending the high pressure fluid to the steering rack when you turn the wheel.
You can remove the pump and clean the valve, reinstall the pump and flush the steering system with fresh fluid or replace the pump and flush the system with new fluid.
Good luck.
A power steering pump will whine if it is low on fluid, when you turn the wheels you will hear the whine or if the power steering belt is to tight you will also hear the whine. You will not hear this whine when the truck is stopped.
A fluid leak that is pink and/or red colored is usually either power steering fluid or transmission fluid. I recommend checking both. You can check the power steering fluid when the car is off. However, the transmission fluid should be checked with the engine warm and idling in neutral. Have someone else step on the brake or use the parking brake and block the wheels while you're measuring the transmission fluid level.
on the front of the engine, where the fan/belt runs, there is a black tank with a round cap that unscrews off of it. make sure you use power steering fluid, and fill to correct level as indicated on dip stick which is below cap. levels vary depending on cold or hot.
stop off at your local auto center /parts dealer they will show you for free,,other -look for the pump,dip stick,some have a remote bottle mounted on fire wall ,inner fender
