if this is a new problem you probably have leaking o-rings at the back of the pump
Easy Fix!!
If you are losing fluid its likely in the high pressure line, a PITA but replaceable
to burp the system after a drain and refill of ps fluid- place cardboard under the front wheels to reduce surface friction
Start car and in Park, turn the wheels full lock to lock at a normal speed-
may have to go back and forth several times to get all the air out
our DIY section will have more info

Hello 01tl4tl, I bled the system and i loosened my p/s belt. After i installed a new timing belt and drive belt i must have over tightened my p/s belt, All is well but i'll be stopping by the dealer to replace to pick up a few o-rings just in case my problem isn't completely fixed...Thank's again.

that too tight ps belt will fry the pump bearings in short order!
