Power Steering Fluid

Any brand will work but personally I would go on amazon and buy AC Delco power steering fluid. I read a long time ago that the seals in GM steering components respond better to the AC delco fluid...whether true or not, who knows but the R&P rack in my 01 Pontiac grand prix has zero leaks at 201,000 miles on it and I exchange the power steering fluid out of the PS reservoir once per year and use AC Delco PS fluid. These racks are known to leak after 100,000 miles...fingers crossed.

I've been reading on this forum for quite some time that power steering leaks are an issue in our cars and that a lot of people wind up installing a Borgesen box. I considered myself pretty lucky that I never saw any leaks. That was until last night when I decided to check the reservoir and realized I can't see any fluid from the top.
I'm not sure how long I've been this low. I'm just hoping I didn't do any damage.
