Hi, sorry if this sounds dumb but I have bought a 1985 laser automatic and I am stumped as to the location of the automatic transmission fluid. According to the book that comes with it it should be very obvious but i cannot locate it. Can someone tell me if I am standing on the drivers side looking in, is it the small dip stick to the front of the engine kind of above the actual oil dipstick? according to the book that cmae with it thats the power steering?? but husband says it doesnt have power steering.. the book sasy it does.
Other than that it is going really welll, had only 175000 kms on it, 2 owners, all details etc. Is in excellent condition all round though I am goign to install a cd or mp3 player as I have no tapes left.

If you're standing in front of the car, the auto trans dipstick is towards the right, basically in line with the distributor. It has a black plastic top, so it can be hard to see.
