Power steering fluid is a very different formulation from transmission
fluid, especially in Hondas that use their own non-standard PS fluid as
well. There is NO sharing of the fluids.

If you're having to top up the transmission, then your transmission
probably has leaky seals, like TL said.

And BTW, if you're putting ATF in your power steering pump, you're gonna
hafta develop some really strong biceps to steer the car when the power
steering system fails. Most Hondas require Honda-specific power
steering fluid.
