If it is a power steering box it is lubricated by the Fluid in the power steering pump. Automatic transmission fluid is used in the power steering.

You check it by taking out one of the bolts holding the cover on it.

don't have a shop manual. I thought that this whats this site was for. This site does have a lot of information but a shop manual is invaluable when working on your car. Besides, you can get the information instantly in the shop manual. The shop manuals are being reprinted and they are fairly inexpensive. I have shop manuals on all of my cars and I find them extremely useful when working on the car.
