My wife's vehicle is leaking power steering fluid. I have to put fluid in it two to three times or more a day. I cannot seem to find the source of the problem. Any ideas ?

try washing down the engine compartment on that side. if you have hydro boost for brake system one hose goes to that first then to box so check both. if not it will go to box if no leakage found there look under the box and check the Pittman arm connected to box it may leak there. if it does not the seals will need to be replaced.
