you will have better luck in the hybrid subforum under rx gen 3. This is hybrid subforum under rx gen 2, about the 400h, not the 450h. If you just bought it from a dealer, have them look at it.

You have electric power steering and no power steering fluid.
What color is the fluid? Yellowish? Pinkish? Darker red?
Yellowish is brake fluid, pinkish is coolant, darker red is ATF.

If it looks like water, it could be airconditioning condensation.
