Help me locate it?

Not familiar with trans mounts, when I get it up in the air where would it be, and how would I know if they are not seated properly or some other problem?
Thanks.

Tightening the power steering pump, how?

86 560sl. My belts are really loose. Got to be simple. What's the procedure? Can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks.

I pulled and inspected the OVP back in the fall, doesn't seem to be the problem, but I suppose it could be related.
