Hello, i have just noticed the last few days a leak under my truck. It appears like the power steering fluid. I checked the fluid a few days ago, 9/13/08 an d that's when i first noticed the leak and the reservoir was a bit low.. i added fluid and its not low yet still has a slow leak. The funny thing is it won't leak during the day when I"m operating it, it only starts the seeping leak at night when its totally cooled for like 6 or more hours... i've attached some pics below as i got down underneath it since i don't want to go to a shop and they would be like..we don't see a leak. I'm wondering if its because of a seal and that when its hot, it expands and seals and when its cooled it shrinks possbly causing the leak. Again pics are attached.. any advice is welcomed so I can fix this with minimal cost.

Thats possible, tyr cleaning it off real good with carb cleaner so that you can see exactly where it is coming from, check the clamps for the return lines as well, sometimes they will eak sitting but not when fluid is circulating
