Default Steering fluid capacity

hi, I have a 2004 impala with a leaky steering rack, and I have a bottle of leak sealer. Problem is that I need to know the capacity of power steering system, including the reservoir. Haven't had any luck asking people I know in the business, hoping for a little help here. Thx all!!

usually 1 liter of fluid is all that is needed when changing a rack. the ps pump can put out 600psi of pressure...can a leak sealer contain that pressure? there is a reason the high pressure side uses compression fittings and not clamps.

Post how it works out and the product you used.
