Capacity of Power Steering fluid?

[Ralph]

The fluid reservoir for the Power Steering is cylindrical. I am going
replace the steering rack eventually, I am just hoping to slow down the leak
and make it managable enough so that I can wait till late in the year or
next spring to do it. I don't really know where the leak is.Thanks for the
input.
