Now to my next topic.....I Have a small leak out of a return line to my power steering resvior and im going to have to add more, my buddy says he uses automatic transmission fluid instead of steering fluid, can we do this with our cars? I dont know whats already in mine and i dont want to mix fluids....if not what kind should i get?

Thanks guys, help is always appriciated!

you can run ATF (a lot of cars now come from the factory with ATF) i wouldnt be worried about mixing fluids, id be more worried about the leak.
