    I haven't looked but is there a place to add power steering pump fluid. My Power Steering pump makes a groaning sound when I put the car in a turn and goes away when I straighten wheel - it sounds like a pump being starved - any advice? or diagram on how to remedy?

    The Manual calls for Shell DONAX TA - I live a long way from the Ferrari Dealer - Is there a common replacement readily available like Ford MERCON or GM DEXTRON which would work?

    I put Merc/Dex III in 1/4 quart - and groaning went away - I didn't think it would be that sensitive
