Power Steering fluid expands lots with heat (compared with the other fluids) If there is even a pin hole in one of your power steering hoses, it will shoot out like crazy. When it's really hot out, the fluid will expand causing more pressure and it will leak from wherever there is a way to get out. If the person working on your vehicle is testing it for leaks, be sure to do it in the summer. If the leak still isn't found, there is a dye that they can add that they can only see with black light. The area will be cleaned up, the dye will be added, the vehicle will possibly be test driven until the fluid has time to circulate and then it will be checked. Good Luck.
