[urq] ATF fluid in the reservoir : What to do?

[Eric Renneisen]

Oh yeah, I forgot that the power steering-only type 85 cars had that
little plastic bottle.

Thanks Eric R, 

Thinking of it, I may confuse Eric L. 1985 urQ and the 1986 Coupe GT
that I dismantled right after repairing his car. I remember ordering the
filter for the hydraulic system and the ETKA listing was erroneous. I
ended buying the little cartridge identical to my UrQ's. 

So all urQ have the metal reservoir, and all uses the red ATF fluid.

Stephen, looks you won't have to sue anybody now...

All original N. Am. urqs I've seen have the same metal reservoir.  Both
my '85 and '86 have it.  I think I've seen the plastic one you describe
on the type 44, maybe?
