PO didn't tell me about pentosin!

Yes, get rid of the red stuff ASAP, you could have done some damage or
accelerated a leak or two depending on how long you ran PS fluid.  If the
bottom of the reservoir is the only place it's leaking that's a good
sign.  More good news is that you can use DTE-13M from Mobil instead of
the "green gold", DTE's available at lube distributors for around $40 for
5 gallons.  Look in the archives if you want more info on DTE-13M
compatibility.  Depending on how bad the leak(s) is (are) you'll have the
system "flushed" in no time.
