Power steering fluid all over ground, please help!
Can i just pour regular power steering fluid for now? Also, what is the most common reason for the failure.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Audi/VW uses only mineral fluids. Get it at a VW parts dealer.
It sounds like either your rack seals or your
power steering pump is blown.
My rack blew the main seal last month and had
to be rebuilt. An expensive repair job.
And don't drive it while out of fluid or you will
blow the PS pump another $450 part.

I've used M1 synthetic ATF... it has superior properties, but if you have doubts follow J's advice.
I'm just going by the specs. I think someone else on here does that too... Trumpio?
