Power steering fluid, although light hydraulic fluid is cheaper. I used light hydraulic fluid in my power steering that leaked like a sieve for a while to get me thru the winter until I could replace the leaky discharge hose.
If you have PS fluid already, if should work just fine (but it's gonna leak out too)

I don't have any hydraulic jack oil and my cheapo jack leaks like a sieve. What do you suggest is best replacement for the oil?
auto transmission fluid? brake fluid? power steering fluid? motor oil?

Honestly, a leaking jack wouldn't hold anything up

"Best" would be to go buy some (it's inexpensive) and you could have gone and been back several times over by the time you asked... :)
As someone else noted, don't trust a jack that's leaking w/ even close to a pinkie-smash...
