Where is my power steering fluid reservoir? (Pics inside)

2002 Ford Ranger 3.0. The power steering rack is leaking at both ends. I don't want to spend any more money on this dumpster fire of a vehicle, so I figured why not give some leak stop a shot. I picked up this stuff



The instructions say to add it to the power steering fluid reservoir. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and all the Rangers in those videos have Power Steering Fluid reservoirs in the engine bay. But I don't. The only thing I have for Power Steering is this fill tube, which is attached directly to the power steering pump.



So I took the cap off and siphoned all the fluid out of that to replace with the leak stop stuff, but it only held a little bit of fluid. I got this much out:



I filled it back up the the appropriate level with the leak stop stuff, but it was barely 1/4th of the bottle. Does my truck just not have a power steering reservoir? Here are pics of the engine bay
