if you fill it to high it will pour out when u turn off the car, check the clamps to see if they are too loose. If they are just get a small clamp to put more pressure on it

start the car and have someone turn the wheel back and forth to get an exact spot. is it the cap? is it 1 of the lines? is the tank cracked?

Check to see if the steering fluid is dirty- if it is, and if you are continuously losing fluid with no obvious source involving the reservoir, then the steering rack might be at fault. My wife's car (a Hyundai Elantra), seemed to have a similar problem. I just had it to the dealership (this AM), and I was told the seal in the steering rack is leaking. Ultimately (in this case), the leak would be expected to get worse, and the rack would be replaced as an assembly (it's an $800 repair at Hyundai 
).
Just an idea.
Good luck.
