Default Power Steering Leak

I was looking under the hood the other day and notice that there is a lot of oil or power steering fluid on the bottom side of my hood, and its all by the power steering, then i was looking at the hoes that are connected to the power steering and there is also a lot of oil or p.s.f. on them, so how do i check if one of the hoes is leaking or if its something else, and anyone have this same problem????

start the car and have someone turn the wheel it should spit it out, possibly your high pressure line is leaking?

I hate when my hoes start leaking



Even a small hole in a high pressure line like p.s. will spit fluid anytime the motor is running. Start the car and take an index card and hold it by the power steering lines and go down and around each line. If there is a leak it will show up on the index card
