Try hard to find some Castrol LMA type fluid. If you put in stuff that's
incompatible with the rubber parts (the seals and booster parts) it will
turn the rubber to gunk and you'll have leaks everywhere.

Make sure that you bleed the brake fluid into a clear glass or jar so that
you can see what the stuff that comes out of there looks like. If it's just
a little cloudy or slightly colored that's okay... if  it's really brown
then you should consider tearing into the brake system to rebuild the
calipers, the rear wheel cylinders, and the master cylinder, and get the
booster rebuilt. You should also consider getting new flexible lines for the
front calipers and rear axle.

Good luck,
Theo
