If its a very pale green its a specialised fluid I think made by nulon but the correct fluid by the book is dexron 2 ATF.
The special fluids do help prevent leaks and sticky valves in the steering box. The big plus with the special fluids though is that you can buy half a liter so if you have a manual you dont have lots of spare fluid.
As you dont know what is in the reservoir now I would be draining as much as I can before refilling just in case its not compatible with the new fluid.
Im useing a lucas power steer oil at present but its still red
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them
