I recently purchased a 1966 Mustang 289 C-code with Automatic trans and power steering. After noticing the car leaks, today I checked the engine oil dipstick and it seems to be 3/4 on the dipstick, So im gonna do an oil change an monitor the levels.

I’m surprised the transmission oil leaks and the level is low but the transmission was rebuilt a few months earlier I have receipts and pics. What should I do about it and where is the filler cap for the trans oil?

The Power steering fluid reservoir seems empty I have attached some pics (phone camera)













For the auto transmission and Power steering im supposed to use only (type-f automatic transmission fluid) correct?

The P/S uses type F trans fluid. The transmission will use whatever was put into it after the rebuild. That could be F, Dextron , Mercon or whatever. There's no filler tube, it goes into the dipstick tube.
