Some Questions, Power steering, brake fluid

Ok i just got my ss/sc back a few days ago after it was wrecked. They had to rebuild the motor and do a bunch of body work.

So anyway, I had it serviced with my uncles dealership about 100 miles from where i live so i knew every thing would get done right.

Im thinking the car is a little low on power steering fluid cause when i first start up the car and turn the wheel, she moans a little bid. It does that for about 10 or 15 mins until it warms up. So i popped the hood to check it and i wasnt sure where the cap for it was.

Another, when i break i get and idiot light telling me my brake fluid is low. My brakes feel fine, but everytime i brake i get that. So where is that at so i can check that too.

Other than those two things, after being totaled she's running great

well, the car has electronic power steering..no fluid.

Check the master cylinder for brake fluid make sure it's ful....Maybe it's a bad level sensor

maybe the thing with the steering is just because everything is new, i didnt think of that until now.

But i was still confused about the break fluid tho.. thanks

no prob.....check the brake fluid level....there should be a connector on the master cylinder for the level sensor, make sure that's plugged in.
