Did you fill it with ATF or power steering fluid?

Cya,

Subject: power steering rack leak

Hey listers... (trying again in plain text, sorry)

Just changed my power steering pump with a spare because it was leaking
at the body seam, that was an easy fix.  Suddenly my rack leaks like a
sieve at both ends!  Is this a result of the p/s fluid getting low from
the other pump's leak?  

Any source for rebuild parts like seals and bushings?  I can do a Lancia
rack but I'm not sure where to start here.

Thanks,
Gregory Smith
