Default Wrong oils everywhere

So, today i took the supra to my uncle and we put it on the bridge.
The rear subframe needs a cleanup and rusttreatment, nothing serious though.
So, that's comming off in a few months with the better weather.

Then he looked at the oil onder the car, we tried determining where the leaks came from and the rear differential leaks on one side, the transmission is leaking and the engine is covered in oil on both sides, but the strange thing was in front of the engine there was a lot of oil on the power steering pump.

So he decided to look at the fluidlever of the powertsteering and he discovered white oil. So we took a sample and looked at it, its not dexron atf in there but the previous owner put brakeoil in there.........

Then we took a sample of the transmission oil (auto box), and it was brown and smelled like normal tranny oil, definitely wasnt atf.....

We didn't take a sample of the lsd but it probably also has the wrong oil.

So tomorrow im gonna flush everything and put the right oils in. I hope it fixes the rough shifting of the transmission and with some additives i can stop the oilleak in the powersteering pump.

Some people should never be allowed to touch a car.
