power steering fluid type?

i have a Toyoda steering mechanism at the end of my steering wheel.
yes i spelt it right TOYODA ive done some research this is how they spelt there name before OEM.
So i gathered its old. This brings me to my question what steering fluid could i use.
was there a standard back than.
Brake fluid or steering fluid?

Does anyone know how to get replacement parts for these if mine leeks
are they common?

Thanks-Happy Thanksgiving!

I wouldn't use brake fluid, I've always used ATF or power steering fluid.

If you know what year it came out of (or pre -XXXX) you could ask any of the sales reps at NAPA and thye would know. Don't use brake fluid - it's for brakes.

Thanks Jules and Racer.
After i finish my oil pan install im going to circle round and try to id it better.

i knew it sounded kind of silly .. I think i saw someone suggest that.
so i came back here get a second opinion.
