So, if you guys were following my last thread I said all was well as I bought some more fluid and topped it off and the warning light went off.
Also, just as a reminder, I had a power steering flush last Nov - still got the invoice - it states "checked - no leaks found".
But, anyway, on the way home today it came on again - and I checked the fluid level and it was very low again.
FYI - It's only been 3 days since I topped her off.
I saw that there was fluid down the side of the reservoir - maybe a quick fix by replacing the faulty top gasket/o-ring
Anyway - please chime in if you have any idea what may be causing this leak or have had this happen to you.
Thanks as always all!

I had a leak on the ARS unit awhile ago. Was hard to detect until I removed the front undercarriage cover. I think if you want to find out exactly where the leak is, if there is any, it's best to look from the bottom since there are lots of hoses down low.
