I've used Lucus Power Steering Fluid, not the leak stop stuff they sell and have been happy with it.

Use a good synthetic transmission/hydraulic fluid. There's really no such thing as "power steering fluid." The steering is hydraulic (assist) and uses hydraulic fluid. Fluids labeled "power steering" are usually just low grade farm hydraulic fluids.

Castrol Trans-C HT or Dual Range HV

Next time you go to the parts store, read the label on the back of a bottle of P/S Stop leak, it is not for external leaks but to free up internal leaking valves.
