Not for me

I used (?) Prestone (?) with leak prevention. It doesn't temporarily swell the rubber seals, it rejuvenates them. I've used it for the first time when I bought this car some 8 years ago. It stopped the leak nearly immediately, and has been working ever since.

I read bad stuff about the other type, which temporarily swell your seals to stop leaks, I heard that one day it stops working and you lose all your fluid in very short order.

Yep, just regular Dexron 3 ATF for the power steering.

Chrysler now puts ATF+4 in power steering, and recommends it for all older power steering when doing major work, since it fixes some chattering problems. I use in my 60's Mopars and recall putting it in one of my 300D's p.s. pump.
