Default ES300 98-Steering Fluid Leak

I have a Lexus ES300 98 model. One day I started getting a groaning noise whewnever I was turning the steering wheel, particularly when parking. I found there was no steering wheel fluid. Once I poured the fluid the noise was gone and it started working fine. Within two weeks it started happening again. I discovered there was a leak some where. Now it does not hold the fluid for long, but I could not detect the location of the leak. Can anyone please advise a repair method?

It must be leaking when you are driving...
Fill up your PS fluid and start moving back and forth on a spot while turning the steering wheel. Then check for a puddle under the car.
