Power Steering Follow-up

Power Steering Follow-up
Last month I asked max.org for help on my power steering fluid leak. The dealer wanted $$$$$$$$$$$ to replace my rack & pinion because there was a leak in the seal. Several max.org members were kind enough to provide advice on the matter and as a result I saved $$$$$$$$$$$$.
I am writing to follow-up on the situation in case other rookie members are as foolish as me. As I mentioned in my initial post, the leak started to happen right after I had my power steering replaced by ExpressWay Lube Center (I never had a problem until then). They used universal fluid (I called them today and confirm it) and not Dexron III. The universal fluid leaked completely out, bone dry. The Nissan dealer did a refill with the right stuff. I have a slow leak now, but I have learned to live with it (top off the fluid).
