There are 2 reservoirs, one for the ABC and the other for the PS. They both go to the same pump (tandem pump) and are both the same fluid:

ABC Hydraulic Fluid (Pentosin CHF 11S) - Q 1 32 0001

When you pull the dipstick out for each, there is a level indicator for engine off and on. Make sure you're within those limits of each.

Regarding quantities, I would buy 1 can and go from there. You're not filling up the whole system, just the reservoirs. This fluid is close to $40 a can.

I highly recommend that you get the leak fixed. Topping off ABC fluid is no solution as the uneven dip may be from another problem. Good luck
