Default Power Steering Leak?

Alright, I've had a small P/S leek for the past 3 months. I keep filling it up every time I hear it getting low (A whine during turning). It's never gotten completely empty. 3 days ago I filled it up, and today I checked it and it was low again. It seems like its getting worse. Any help on where leaks commonly start, and how much it may cost to fix. Thanks in advance.

Check out this video I made
MY video is for 97 on so what year is your car? Even if it is older this should give you some ideas.
Let me know if you still need help.

look at the pwr steering hose first. Mine was cracked so i replaced it. This is the best case scenario and cheapest.

I had leaks and had to replace p/s hoses & piping on my '98 ES - it was not cheap, IIRC.
