Question Power steering leak....??

I have a 2000 Trans am. Im leaking power steering fluid and was wondering is there a "norm" place where this leaks? Trying to pinpoint my problem and find out what exactly I need to fix/replace? Can't see the leak itself, just fluid slung all over the inside of the hood and power steering is low. thanks.

Start by looking on top of the alternator. If it's leaking there, chances are you'll need a new alt as well.

I just replaced my alternator about a week ago and it was covered in power steering fluid. If the fluid is drenching your alternator you might want to address this problem before it gets too bad and you have to replace it.
