You add the Blinker fluid right next to the Head light fluid on the top of the steering column. And there is only one belt on the muffler.

Thats unless its a Pre-96 then there are two. If its a red car then you have to fill the reservoir on the blinkerfluid before you fill the main tank.

I had a blinker fluid leak once - it took the paint of the inside of the fender. It had rusted right through before I noticed it.
Theo, nearly as crazy as the rest of you...

The reservoir is the right rear tire. Assuming your vehicle came with one.

Hey I am serious about the blinker fluid. My turn signals are not working. My muffler isn't working right either maybe I should take it to a shop to be looked at.

oooooooooooooooookay!
buddy. let me be the first to say blinkers dont have fluid. they have flashers. check that first. mufflers dont have belts. a muffler will work as long as it aint rotten.
if you walk into a shop like you did hear and say your muffler belt is broken your gonna pay a arm, leg and first born to fix your car

As long as your hose belt and Flux Capacitor are in good shape, I'd say you're doing fine.
If not, the hose belt is easy to replace - you only need an adjustable metric wrench.
