As the title says my Z decided it didn't want power steering anymore and leaked it all out right below the reservoir. Just want to make sure it's uses standard power steering fluid or see if it uses A/T fluid like some vehicles.

I found it never mind. Mod can delete if they wish.

the question is why did it all leak out, the high pressure hose is the common point of failure

High pressure hose had a hole in it. Had a spare hose in the tool bag and enough fluid in the garage. $0. 00 fix and I didn't burn out the pump means I'm happy. I'll just look at it as a power steering fluid flush.
