Default Power steering system fluid capacity.

Hi there, can anyone let me know the capacity of the power steering system on my 75 vette?

I recently replaced the seals in the power steering pump and renewed the fluid. Now fluid is weeping out of what seems to be all the hose unions.

I have some new pipes on order but as a temporary measure I shall be using a sealer and conditioner. This can only be added up to a maximum of 5% of the total fluid, hence I am trying to find out the total capacity.

TIA.

The 1975 AIM says 0.16 gallons of power steering fluid.

Thanks Jim, I make that around 605 ml which means max I can add is around 30 ml. Will see if it works.
