Subject:power steering leak

Listmembers,

        I checked the archives for 1998, but didn't find the answer.
        Can I just add additional automatic transmission fluid (ATF) to the power
steering reservior? It says ATF on the plastic reservoir. Is Dexron III OK?
        I noticed that the level was just at minimum. Exam of the steering rack
showed wet, but intact, right front rubber boot. No puddles on driveway.
Looks like a leaky power steering rack; reasonable with ~ 120K on it. No
performance problems or noises. Guess I can just keep the fluid level up
until leak gets too bad.
        Thanks.
