I noticed a small leak underneath my car yesterday coming from near the passenger side wheel well... I opened the hood and checked the "Power Steering Fluid" sphere near the front and it doesn't seem like it's leaking. Is this all that needs to be checked? Because I remember someone saying the Power Steering can leak onto the Alternator... so I looked at the alternator and above it, and I didn't see anything. What could the leak be that is dripping near the passenger wheel?

It could be the rack and pinion. The rack and pinion is basically the steering gear under the car. It is hard to get to it and hard to take out as well as install. It's heavy. The rack and pinion is also filled with powersteering fluid. When taken out it should look like this

yeah my car was leaking too. at first it looked like the rack and pinion cause thats where everything was dripping from but when we took it out we saw that it wasnt the rack but just a hose.

Power steering leaks are usally from the high pressure hose on our sc's.
