could be the power steering pump, the high pressure sls line, or the low pressure sls line, or either PS line.
I found the PS pump shaft seal was leaking on mine with similar results. it was hard to pinpoint, because the fluid never really got low. so I sucked the PS res. dry w/ my topsider and then flushed the system by unhooking the return line, starting car and pouring fluid into the res as fast as I could , then shut the car off- only ran it for like 50-60 seconds.
then topped up PS res. to a set mark on the shaft which holds the cap, and monitored that level.
the next time I noticed that the hood was damp, checked, and sure enough the level was down-1/8" or less, but down.
