Where is the Serpentine Belt located on a 1996 Mercury Sable?

Every single time I take my sable into the mechanic I some how end up with either having to already pay $100 to get it fixed or $100 and up to get in fixed within the next week. Yesterday I brought my car in for an oil change, and walked out with a diagnosis for 5 computer codes, all nothing that would harm my vehicle but needed to be fixed, an oil leak, and the serpentine belt being cracked not only that but my power steering is supposedly going out and all the pressure hosing. I have a full tank of power steering fluid and haven't been low on oil so I'm a little bit nervous because this seems to happen to much!Where is the Serpentine Belt located on a 1996 Mercury Sable?

Look under the hood of the car. As soon as you open the hood. It is looking right at you. Its the big belt that goes around everything. It is black in color and 2 inches wide.Where is the Serpentine Belt located on a 1996 Mercury Sable?
It's a 96 sable, those cars have problems. Be thankful the transmission hasn't gone out yet, it will. The Power Steering pump can have fluid in it and still be bad, the way to tell is by listening to the pump while turning the wheel. The serpentine belt is the belt that goes around all of the pulleys on the front of the engine. Depending on where the leak is, it can be an easy fix. Crawl under there and look for any fresh oil at the highest point, hose it off if you have to. If it is coming from the oil pan, it's a cheap fix it yourself deal. If it is coming from between the engine and transmission, it is better left to a mechanic. As for the computer codes, Autozone can help you with that.
