Power steering fluid leak??

The power steering fluid in my car is getting drained from max to almost empty every two days. I don't know what the problem is. When it's low, the car makes sounds when it's in motion and during turns (i.e. whenever steering is involved obviously). Anyone have any idea on how to fix this? Anyone know what the problem is? Thanks.

Tomorrow in the sunlight pop your hood and see if the fluid is leaking from the reservior/pump area, a hose, or out of the rack & pinion. A rebuilt rack may be in your future.
