69 C3
I could probably post this question in any year subforum--or any automotive forum, for that matter. Here goes...
Is there any harm in using ATF as power steering fluid?
I'm working thru the list of issues with a '69 I just bought. Among the new drips on my garage floor, the crimson-hued stands out. To my relief they don't issue from the tranny; and I believe I traced the drips to the rear of the PS cylinder proper. Sure enough, there's red nummies in the PS reservoir. I get that hydraulic fluid is mostly similar, but still. I'll likely purge the PS fluid simply for prudence sake in the near future.
Opinions on ATF as PS fluid?
