If you've got a fluid leak, it's a good idea to fix the leak so the $$$ fluid stops leaking out- the system should require very little (if any) additional fluid once it's at the proper level.

Nope, i agree with Bret, there is no alternative fluid readily available here, but
the pentosin is availble from a lot of import parts stores for less, i typically pay 14 locally

Use the pentosin, other fluids attack the seals. If you think the fluid is expensive check into the cost of replacing some of your hydraulics.
The $17 puddles in your driveway ought to inspire you to correct any leaks. Check the hose on the bottom of the resevoir first. That's about the only cheap repair.
