Where are the obvious places to check for leaks? I don't see anything obvious in the engine compartment, nor any fluid dripping under the car when parked in my garage or idling.
This minivan has ~110,000 miles on it.
If the fluid level is right, the power steering works fine and doesn't make any noise, so I think the pump/power steering is fine.
I just need to find the source of the leak and repair it, if possible.
Thanks for any help on this.

Todd: How is your steering? Mine did the same thing about 2 years ago (leaking fluid) I pulled into my ex-wifes driveway and it dumped the P/S fluid everywhere. Sweet irony huh? Anyway, the rack had to be changed. I think something happened to it while it was a rental and don't think it was mfr's fault. If that's the case, don't do it yourself. Spend the $1000 bucks and let a pro do it. It took him all day and he had everything to do the job.
