I have a leak coming from my steering rack...every so often I have to refill my power steering fluid...

Since the chf11s is expensive...is there a thicker fluid I can put in instead? Also one that won't cause any problems

 

if its temporary , then try lucas powersteering stabilizer

 

Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF fluid... its about half the price of CHF11S

 

is that the automatic transmission fluid?

 

Yes, ATF can be used as power steering fluid.
