I'm about to change a rusted leaking pipe to the power steering rack from the resevoir. What type/make of fluid does it use? it use?

Automatic Transmission Fluid

I think D111 is same spec as Dexron 3.

Power steering working, but I've disturbed something as the Orange pre-heater light is flashing on Dash, Any ideas where to look?
