The most common problem is a broken high pressure hose going from the pump down to the rack. It could also be a crack in the fluid reservoir, or the failure of a seal in the rack. If someone turns the steering wheel all the way right and left while the engine is running and you watch, you may spot the leak. Just be careful, the moving fan and spraying fluid can be dangerous.

Check the power steering gear box, check the lines (at least 2 each) and check the power steering reservoir.
