Power steering fluid low on 2006 mustang

Was under the hood of my car today and noticed the power steering fluid level was below the "min" mark. My car is an 06 with 47k miles. Is this normal to lose fluid like this over time? I have never seen anything leaking under the car.

I find that checking the power-steering fluid every 10K miles helps keep it full

I have the same number of miles and just added some to mine. I think mine weeps a little, no biggie.

I have the same issue but with my gas tank. I feel that I have to keep putting gas in it more often than I should have to... But that's a GOOD thing, IMO.
