I need some more PS fluid for the Raddo. Is it like most cars? Just pick up some automatic transmission fluid and fill'r up or is it something special?

I think '89 and older cars use atf. Our rocco does. Oh yeah and don't try atf in the later cars. I was skeptical about this but it will f up the system.... I tried it.

Its a 90 G60. So i have to look for special stuff then? Is this dealer only goods or Autozone-ready?

Searched for you. You do need the pricey stuff. GAP also has it for the cheapest by far..

I bought a can @ NAPA in CA for $13.95 + tax. Almost all napas carry it IIRC.

Yeah, NAPA has it...for $32.

I think I'll wait a day and get it from GAP ($15.16 +s/h). Those guys are like the Newegg.com of car stuff...

That would have been great to know before I ordered it ;-) LOL...Thanks for the tip for the future though. I have never heard of the place to be honest. It should be in tomorrow or Saturday. Since the place is so close, things get here fast anyway.

I gotta stop reading these problems w/ other Corrados... my pump started whining at me today. Fluid is low, so I just ordered my Pentosin from GAP. I'll get the car in the air tonight to see what my problem is.

Jacob- What was your issue? Did you have a leak at the rack or elsewhere? Did you get it all taken care of yet?

It seems to be leaking at the rack but I have not lost any/much since I have filled it. I don't really have the means to replace that yet. I'm guessing that is where it is leaking from much I do not have any issues at this moment (ask me when I get home after this comment ;-) )
