Leaking???

I changed the p/s fluid, went out for a drive and after I got back, I went to check the fluid level, and noticed some, a small area under the reservoir tank and the larger of the 2 hoses wet, there was a couple drips of fluid in the area. Don't know if it's coming from the tank or it's leaking around the clamp area. Any one else have this issue? How hard is it to change out the hose, if it indeed is bad? Any help would be great, thanks much!

If you just changed it either more than likely either

1.) Whatever you loosened is missing a seal or isn't completely tight

or

2.)You over filled it and once it warmed up it overfilled out of the overflow.

Dry it off, let the rest burn off the headers then drive it around for 15-20 minutes and see if the problem is gone. If it is still leaking, pull the cap while the engine is still hot and check the level.

1. Only the cap was removed, and it was placed back on there tightly, so no missing seals.
2. It wasn't overfilled, nor did I spill any around the tank.

Yeah, I will recheck her in the morning.
