I think your initial question is very hard to understand, and you'll probably be forced to ask twice because of it. I recommend being as clear as you possibly can to save everyone the trouble. And don't forget; punctuation is everyone's friend.

looks like a round, brownish canister up near the front of the car? if so, that's the power steering reservoir (it uses automatic trans fluid, ATF).
