I have ALWAYS used ATF for PSF in everything--Ford, Audi, Mazda, etc...I feel as if it is basically the same, but higher visc. 99% of PS problems are leaky seals or hoses, NOT wear. And if you have a minor leak that you are not going to fix, ATF stays in longer.

Aeroquip makes weld on adaptors for AN. You just cut off the old crimps and weld/braze on the AN adaptors and connect with new lines. Not cheap but better then nothing.

(whimpers) no welder and nearly no money atm, so I'm going to either attempt patching it again, or see if 034's banjo fittings will work on the pump, then try and track down a straight-through connector that'll fit the same size ps line, and fit the steering gear as well, then just make my own line from scratch
