You have to look under the car to see where it's leaking. ... There's not many things that can be leaking ps fluid.

Where's the leak coming from? Is it from a line, or the rack?

I had a small leak in mine awhile ago. I drained it and refilled with PS fluid with stop leak, or something like that and it seems to be fine now.
