Very simple fluids question?

Looking to check my trans fluid, is that the cap behind the lower driverside pulley? If not where is it?

Or is that for the power steering pump?

Which leads me to my next question, does my Camaro take trans fluid in the power steering system anyway? (my BMW did)

Yea, ATF and power steering fluid are virtually identical, you can interchange them.
No, the power steering system is up at the engine front. You check your tranny fluid via your tranny dipstick, back of the engine bay. I think it has a yellow handle and should say trans on it
