hi my husband said to follow one of the brake lines to the 4 way valve. there will be 2 master lines heading up to the side of the motor. should be on the drivers side. You will see master cylinder and reservior will be above it.
Front of motor should be pump for power steering should be lower drivers side front of motor, at the pump there will be a reservoir attached to pump if not a hose going up to the side of the firewall or where the reservior will be.
hope that helps. lol! we have a 1981 holiday rambler with a 454 .
let me know if he was right. thanks lisa / rcracer05@yahoo.com

Stick your finger in the reservoir that you see,and if you get oil on your finger it is the power steering,if it is brake fluid then you have found the master brake cylinder reservoir,,jmho,,,,,,Tom

I have a 1988 Crosscountry on a Chevy P-30. The power S Res is in front under the hood. The break Master Cyl in behind the left front wheel above the frame. My Motorhome has an opening in the sheet metal. I have remove the front wheel to check, you can also turn the wheel to the left and access the res. behind the wheel.
I hope this helps.
