Depends on what you have. Some cars have a dipstick for the Transmission Fluid, just like they do for the engine oil. You pull it out, wipe it off, reinsert it, then pull it back out and check the fluid level. Those which don't, then you have to get under the vehicle, undo the fill plug (it's on the side of the transmission, not on the bottom - that's the drain plug), stick your finger in, and check to see that the fluid level is just to the bottom of the fill plug.

Why did your power steering suddenly go out in your 2001 Yukon after a sharp turn?
Could be you slosh the fluid to one side of the reservor in the turn; but I think that would only matter if the fluid level inthe reservor were pretty low. Check the fluid level and fill with reccomended fluid (call dealer if you don't know) and check to see if the power steering still goes out in a turn. Check for leakage of power steering fluid. Some times some one forget to put the cap back on and the fluid sloshes out... these caps can be had at most auto parts stores. Go buy a Haynes Automotive Service Manual for your vehicle and check your local library for On-line resources for auto repair info.
