Hi,
There are no lines/hoses that go into the vehicle or run under the driver's seat for the power steering. I attached a pic below showing the PS system and I highlighted the hoses. These are all under the hood, under the engine, and at the rack and pinion.
Do this. If there is something leaking into the vehicle, the most likely suspect is the heater core. It is under the dash and engine coolant runs through it. Start by checking the engine coolant level. Also (and don't laugh), smell the fluid that is present. Coolant has a sweet smell to it. Also, check the coolant overflow reservoir under the hood to see if it is low.
Don't open any of the cooling system lids unless the engine is cold.
Let me know what you find.
Take care,
Joe
