Kyle,

Under (almost) no circumstances should you use standard PS fluid.  (The 
only exception is if it is already leaking like a sieve and you are 
planning on rebuilding the entire system in the near future.)  It will 
kill seals everywhere.  There are a few acceptable replacements, but 
they are usually sold as some type of hydraulic fluid, if I'm not 
mistaken.  The info can be found through Google.  Personally, sticking 
with the "green gold" is cheap insurance.  It can be had for about 
~$15/liter on the internet.
