Another question, the fluid in my power steering pump now is clear, I heard automatic transmission fluid was used in the pump, should I continue with the clear stuff or try to suck it out and add trans fluid or not suck it out and add trans fluid anyways? Thanks!

Since you don't know what kind of fluid is in there I would not mix it. Most of the newer power steering fluids are clear. If it's not leaking and your steering works fine then leave it as is. I would only go back to type F transmission fluid if you totally drained the new stuff out.

As a matter of fact it is leaking, I need to find out where though, it's working fine though.Comment

Normally the pump leaks from around the front shaft seal. If it's not that it could be just a hose fitting. Hopefully it's not the steering box.
