Suspension problem
2002 Kia Sportage 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 44.000 miles

I seem to be losing all of my power steering fluid every one or two days. I fill my reservoir to the correct level but I still seem to lose the fluid. I have looked for leaks when filling but have seen none.
Also what would be a ball park figure for these repairs?

Thank you,

Take a small needle and poke a small hole in the boots at the end of the rack and pinion to see if the fluid is in there. If it is, the rack is leaking.

Let me know what you find.
