Default Leaking power steering fluid?

Hello all,
I think my 94 ES300 is slowly leaking Power Steering fluid although I cant see any visibly. Any common/known issues that would cause this? I know there is nothing to go on just hoping there is somewhere common for me to look.


Thanks!

I would check around the pump which is probably easiest to see through the passenger wheel well. Does your car have the hydraulic fan?

Check the pump, if it's dry then follow the pressure line and look at that.
