Hello,

We need to see where the leak is coming from. Fill the system without spilling any fluid. Then use a flashlight to see if you can tell where it is leaking. If needed start the engine and have someone turn the wheel back and forth which will make the fluid leak. Here are some popular guides to help you get the problem fixed once you see what the problem is.
