Default Power Steer

Was checking my P/S fluid today and noticed it was a brown color. It should be red correct?
Is there a easy way to drain and refill the pump without removing it?

actually regular power steering fluid is sorta clear, usually people use trans fluid which is why you normally see red in it, the clear fluid dirties up quicker but may actually be fine, chances are, if you did drain it all out and put fresh fluid it would be dirty lookin again, unless your planning to flush the system out of the box and lines and pump
