Question Where is the oil going?

Evening all.
Odd thing is happening,every other month I've been adding P/S oil to the pump.Had a quick look the first time to make sure nothing was leaking and all was ok then.Just yesterday a few 1000km later,I add some more about 250ml worth!
At this point I really get under the vehicule to inspect the pump and all the hoses and find absolutly nothing to be leaking anywhere!
This is very odd to not find anything wrong!!
Any suggestions on what could be happening here.
Regards
Dan

What about the steering gear box? If it's dry too, perhaps you just had a lot of air in system??!!

Be happy - I could never make such a claim!

If it helps last time I was under my car there was a drip at the shaft which comes out the bottom of the steering box, where the pitman arm attaches.
It could be that if you have such a drip it spills onto other parts of the car
and stays before it reaches the ground. I'm just elaborating on what Mismost said.

Check the pitman shaft seal at the bottom of the steering box.
