Do you have a link to purchase 'dot3 or 4' Power Steering fluid?
I think you may be confusing it with the brake fluid requirements.

so... found out it was my rack and pinion again... took it to the shop and they put in a "new" used one for me. The thing I don't like about it is, it now feels like I have no power steering at all. So, I decided to take my car back into them, and they think just as I did, the seals are all bunched up. If this does not fix the problem, does anyone know how much a new, or used power steering pump could run me?
