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.

for it to be a pressure leak wouldnt it stop after i shut it off it leaks out from full to empty in prob anout 1 mile so and its coming from underneath the resovior

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

yea it leaks even with the engine off so emm sould it maybe be the seals or hoses

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
