You can pour fluid into the power steering reservoir. Remove the top to the reservoir and fill to the full Mark on the side of the reservoir.
can you tell me the location of the power steering fluid resovoir on a vauxhall vectre v6 3ltr cdti (2004 ), many thanks

1. Low steering fluid level. 2. Incorrect software version in steering ECU. 3. Failed steering ECU. Some Early Vectras (of the Vectra "C" model) had a fluid level switch in the fluid bottle. This switch is well known for giving false "low fluid" warning messages, and was deleted from later cars. There is a software update available from Vauxhall dealers, that deletes the "low fluid level" function. If the software update does not fix the problem, and the fluid level is correct, a new steering pump/ECU/fluid reservoir assembly will be needed. (or just ignore the massage)

i had this, all fluid just bust out onto road, steering became really stiff, i got it fixed for 300 quid, was power steering pump sensors and steering pump. garage said someone had messed with my car?
were is the power steering fluid resovoir on vauxhall signum 53 diesel
The most likely cause is a fault with the fluid level sensor. The sensor was removed from production about 6 months after production started, as all cars had the light coming on. If the level is Ok, your local Vauxhall dealer can probably reprogram the steering system to "ignore" the sensor.
On a 1998 Mercury Tracer : The power steering fluid reservoir is at the front of the engine compartment towards the passenger side < of the vehicle ( when looking from the FRONT of the vehicle , the power steering fluid reservoir is the reservoir on the RIGHT )
The electrically operated fluid pump is attached to the steering rack unless its a 1.7 diesel which has a conventional pump attached to the alternator. if you look down into the engine bay the reservoir for the fluid sits too the rear of the g/box on the right hand side of the engine bay
you power steering fluid may be low, if that was the case then you would have lowerd hydrolic power to steer the wheels and have to compensate by using more force...which may be why your steering is stiff.
