Yep that's it! But on top it says atf oil only?

[speleo1 10]

atf, automatic transmission oil, fluid not sure that this is the same as power steering fluid,but you put it in the correct place.

[bec26 10]

Right least I know its in right place...thanks!

Dunno why it's leaking and smoking then?

[speleo1 10]

have you overfilled it and its dripping onto the engine causing it to smoke, check the level

I thought that but recovery bloke said that was ok too.
