Same engine it seems, but where the fuck do you put the oil?

Is that an oil cap in the right of the picture? Just in front of the duct taped intake. It's a black cap with amber writing on it, so that's what I suspect. If it goes directly to the engine, that's it.
That's power steering fluid..
Oops, don't want that. Could you take two more pictures, I've from the left and one from the right? Unless that red box someone drew got it.
The red box post is where it's supposed to be.
It's getting dark right now and my camera sucks, so no more photos, at least not today.
This thing, right?
thats definitly steering fluid
Yeah that's definitely not engine oil.
The cap should say the oil weight on it too I think. Not sure about Chevy but a lot of other brands do this on modern cars.
It’s most likely gonna be coming out of one of the valve covers though. So if you can find those you should be able to hunt it down. It’s lame they didn’t put an extension on it to locate it up above all those vacuum lines and stuff though.
We found it, on the passenger side valve cover. Ours just doesn't have the extended filler cap tube, so it's buried down in there, but at least it does have an oil cap.
