[Shotimes] Power Steering fluid change

I just went out and bought the Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak that was
suggested to fix the hard spot in my rack.  Just a little pointer for anyone
that wants to do this.
The bottle of Lucas is 12 oz.  It appears that the PS reservior holds about 16
oz. So you need to either buy two (expensive at ~$7 for 12 oz.) or add some
"normal" PS fluid to bring the level up.
BTW the fluid that I took out was REAL dark and smelled burnt even though I
had just had the PS pump replaced and the fluid flushed less than a month ago.
I guess I'll just have to do this all over again in a couple of weeks (after I
get back to work and can afford the luxury of $7 for 12oz.!!)
