Power Steering Fluid Leak

[Prof]

I like Marc T have lost my power steering...will take it to the dealer tomorrow...the question I have...can I use some left over Mobil 1 ATF to fill the power steering reservoir before I leave for the dealer...so that I can make a few turns on the way?

The stuff that has drained out looks identical, is red and has very close to the the same viscosity...to the feel...

It is all going to drain out on the way...just wondering...

Found this on the internet:

"Maintenance Tips/Suggestions: Check the power steering fluid level at every oil change. Refer to your car's owner's manual for specific recommendations on the type of power steering fluid to use. Fluids need to be compatible with hoses and seals and in some cases the recommended fluid may be automatic transmission fluids such as Type F or Dexron®. It's possible to check the power steering fluid level when your car is cold, but it's usually recommended to check the fluid with the car warmed up. Many cars today use a semi-transparent reservoir for power steering fluid, so look for a fluid level mark on the outside. If the reservoir has no markings, open the reservoir's cap. There should be a small dipstick attached that provides the level reading."

Looks like the answer is yes! Even stinker says so!

The new drilled and slotted rotors and Wilwood calipers will fit inside a 15 inch wheel for slicks! Now I have to find some front rotors that are drilled and slotted.
