Default HELP WITH MY 06 MALIBU

Hi I have an 06 Chevy Malibu 3.5 V6. Anyways the dash thingy keeps telling me occassionally about power steering. I have looked and looked and looked and so have others, we can't find anywhere to put power steering fluid, am I missing something. And then today after it flashed that, my car was doing something really funky, like jerking around corners, pulling to one side, didnt do it again but it was scary.

Any help would be grateful, thanks

You have electric power steering. A motor turns the pinion not hydraulics. I would take it to the dealer real soon, you don't want to lose steering control.

The same thing happened to my 06 Malibu a couple of months ago. The problem would correct itself whenever I turned the car off and restarted it. Anyway, I took the car to the dealer and it was a sensor that had to be recalibrated.
