Open the hood and pull up the plastic engine cover on the passenger side of the car.
You'll see the power steering fluid reservoir, which will have lines molded on it denoting the appropriate fluid level and low fluid level.

All the fluid checks are described in the illustrated maintenance section of the owner's manual, too.

Actually, that won't work unless OP got a car with the plastic engine compartment covers removed.

There are no dumb questions. You weren't born knowing how to check your fluids. Better to ask and learn. Welcome to AZ!!
