steering fluid help

Ok I'm a computer science major and electronic technician.
I have a parts kit and all that i'm great with my hands and tools.
Problem - As mentioned my car experience besides driving is pretty limited.

So the steering fluid is dried up/running low no leak or anything pretty sure but steering
fluid DEFINATELY needs to be put in the steering is locking up/semi-jamming and freezing up
on turn over occasionally. I also think if i don't pour some in soon it could become dangerous for me and my dad. So I found this http://www.ehow.com/how_112810_check-add-power.html The issue is where is exactly is the power steering fluid insertion point on a
01/02 Corrolla? What does it look like and where is it? Under the hood in which location?
A jpeg would help alot but the general direction of where i pour it is all i think i need.

Very common fluid. Go to your local auto parts store or Walmart and ask for it.
