I think you can use brake fluid instead of power steering fluid in the p/s reservoior. Is this right? Cool

No. Power steering fluid acts as a lubricant among other things. Brake fluid dose not. Not a good idea.

You can use transmission fluid in the power steering system. Brake fluid will deteriorate the seals and hoses.
