i believe the FWD 2000s are 5spd autos.

the PS fluid level has not dropped at all since the trip, so i'm calling that good. i've had slow coolant loss and some coolant wetness on the tray under the radiator, so i stuck some cardboard under it tonight; tomorrow we'll see if there are any drips of any fluid. i think the PS fluid is pretty well sealed in there. might change it out with a turkey baster if it warms up a bit over the next week or two.
