Thickest ATF over the counter at parts stores ?

[HTSS_TR]

What is the thicket ATF that a person can buy over the counter at auto parts stores such as Pep Boys, O'Reilly, Autozon, Walmart ... ?

The power steering of the '94 LS400 has small leak, the recommend fluid is Dexron II. I think any ATF will be okay, I'm looking for the thicket fluid to slow down the leak.

Try some MaxLife with stop leak maybe?

I am not one to normally say use special potions. But try some of the lucas power steering stop leak. That stuff works amazingly it made my truck that leaked a quart an hour only leak a quart every week or so. Huge improvement its worth a shot.

I got this "bars leaks" ATF additive at walmart, it's like cherry grenadine. Don't use the whole bottle in a PS system! I tipped the jug over with the lid off and picked it back up, it's so thick it didn't spill in that time.

One "thick" ATF is Castrol High-mileage. It also has seal conditioners to stop leaks:
