Having bought my 'B with a leaking front shock, I was going to fill it
back up and see if it was a fast leak or a slow PO. As much as I dug
through my Haynes, I couldn't find what sort of oil to top up the shocks
with. Do the veterans agree with using ATF?

'74 B - only mildly shocking at this point.

ATF and power steering fluid are the same thing - I use ATF.
In fact ATF is also perfect to use in lever arm shocks.
ATF, PSF, and shock oil have the magic anti-foaming additives and are
almost exactly the same weight.
