Accessory side of engine, rear, down below the alternator. It'* down in there a bit and hard to get to. It'* about mid-engine height wise.

There is a wire loom that can cover the power steering cap, just move to the side.

Not a dumb question at all, IMO its a real pain to get at. I suggest having a flashlight handy.
