I noticed a small leak in the return line on the power steering pump and it’s been about a week and the power steering fluid is now half full. So I need to know what kind of power steering fluid 006 Ford focus takes.

This vehicle would require Mercon V ATF fluid for the power steering system.

Per Ford: MERCON(R) ATF REPLACED BY MERCON(R) V AS A SERVICE FLUID FOR FORD FOCUS 2000-2007 POWER STEERING SYSTEMS 01/22/07.
