Default Fluid Check??

Hey, its getting real nice here in chicago so i can work on my car outside now. I recently just got my crossfire about 1 month ago. I want to know where can i check the Transmission fluid level, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. All the caps on the engine dont seem to label what they are for. Can anyone tell me where they are located please. I know where the oil level is but the others i dont. pictures will be highly appreciated. thanks.

Power steering fluid : reservoir is front drivers side of engine, the cap has a dip stick built on it.
( Pentosin CF fluid )
Brake fluid : on the firewall drivers side - the reservoir is semi-clear plastic with markings for level.
( Red Line Racing is a good brake fluid )
Auto Trans : has no dipstick from the factory, and the dipstick tube is a sealed unit.
You can purchase a dipstick on eBay ( any 3.2L Merc car ) and also get the re-locking tab, but I wouldn't worry about that as you most likely don't have a warranty to worry about anymore.
( The dipstick tube is rear of engine on passenger side )

If there are no signs of leakage, and it's working OK, then don't sweat it.
I have 53,000 and mine is fine.

If the trans doesn't have a RED tab it should be serviced... MB recommends every 39k
