Well,
seems clear it's the ps.
If it was something like a radiator
leak I'd say just swap your hoses,
but ps is always such a mess to work on.
Get under the car.
The fluid should be leaving a
residue after it burns off. Look for
a gunky dark buildup or a darkened section.
Then start following the leak up.
Is it dripping off a hose or out of
one of the components?
It's (1) a leaking component - replace or repair.
(2) a failed hose, I would expect there to be some
evidence of spray in this case - replace.
(3) if it's dripping off the hose, that doesn't
necessarily mean it's the hose. Follow it till
you find the flaw in the hose, or it may go all the way to
the coupling - tighten, then replace if it that doesn't work.
Best wishes,
Buck
