In the 1.6 it is hidden under the left side of the engine bay cover, just next to the screen wash reservoir.

You should be able to remove the clips that hold the engine bay cover with a small flat screwdriver, pry out the center until it pops up, then remove the clip.

Once the cover is removed, the power steering reservoir is just above and to the left of the screen wash reservoir, and has a black cap.
