I started my car up after 3 months of winter storage and noticed a sound when I turned the wheel. My power steering fluid is leaking a bit and when I checked the resivoir it was low. The sound pretty much went away after a few miles of driving but this morning it started again (this time not nearly as loud and again it went away shortly after driving.

What brad/type of PS fluid is OK to use. Is there something I can get at Pep Boys or Advance, or, do I need to go to the dealer? I went to Pep Boys and they had "American" car fluid and Japanese /Euro but their stuff also had stop-leak in it, which I don't know if I want to use, as it may do more harm than good. Any advice?

thanks

Yes they sell synthetic ATF, this is ALL that should be used in our power steering units....

So, sythetic ATF at Pepboys is good?

Dextron ATF (or whatever it's called) is the stuff o' choice. DO NOT USE PS FLUID. Pepboy's stuff will work fine.
