       Use only Dexron III Automatic Transmission fluid in the power steering 
system.  If there is a leak there are two places to look.  1. The rack, if 
here then you can rebuild it, have it rebuilt or get a rebuilt one in 
exchange for yours. I have rebuild kits for $99.95 CND and can rebuild your 
rack for $180 CND plus parts & shipping. 2. The lines, due to rusting through 
somewhere, usually near the rear wheel, if this is it see my <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/hose.htm">Vanagon Power 
Steering Lines</A> webpage for an inexpensive solution.
