actually, after further looking up the parts on realoem to get a new o-ring for the cap, what I replaced was the power steering reservoir this weekend guys haha. idiot moment but I guess thats what happens when you see something leaking and immediately run to the u-pull and grab one that isnt cracked.

I guess the fact that it says "ATF fluid" on the twist cap and atf came out instead of power steering fluid which is normally off amber colored just had me hyper focus.
