You need to find where it is leaking first thing.
Pressure leak or sitting still leak?
For a pressure leak.
Clean of old fluid leak and fill it up and start engine and crank wheels right and left and watch for ps fluid to leak out.
For a hard to find leak they make a leak dye kit that may help you.

If it runs dry in a mile you have a big leak.
Does it also leak with engine off?
Clean it off and look for where the leak is starting to leak.
If you can not see under there a small mirrow may help.
Watch front seal and ps hoses and fittings and around the resovior tank.
Remember a leak will run down so go to the top of the leak.
Good luck

We can not see it with the key board or pc monitor.
You need to have a good look and see where it is leaking.
If all else fails take some pictures and post back some pictures or run it by a repair shop and have them take a look at it.
Good Luck
