Default Power steering reservoir search?

I am in need of a power steering reservoir and I can't find one for a 1996 Top Gun w/ 502 MPI's. Tried Lipship and Hardin to no avail. Tried Merc and they don't support that part or have a part number. It's definitely the PS reservoir not a drive res. I would post a pic of my current reservoir but I don't have 10 posts yet....

Hardin marine said that was a weird place for it too. It has a small leak and the PS started to go out over the weekend so I filled this res up and it worked perfectly after that so it's the PS res for sure. Mechanic confirmed as well.

Thanks for the heads up on that! I will have him bleed it when we find a replacement.
