Little clarification, and or pics., on your leak issue may help. Engine oil leak, transmission oil leak, coming from above WHAT, etc.? If the leak appears to be coming from the upper portion of the engine, it's most likely the rocker arm cover gaskets. If it's near the oil filter area, it could be the oil pump seal. Have you determined, if it's engine oil, or could it be power steering fluid?

It is leaking power steering fluid, I do not see any wet areas from full inspection from top.. can I inspect the lower hoses without taking the bottom cover off ??

IMO: Kind of difficult, to pinpoint the source of a fluid leak, without being able to see, as much of the underside area of the engine bay, as possible. It may be beneficial, to remove the bottom side engine cover first, and look around. If, your CERTAIN, the leak is P/S fluid, you MAY NOT, have to remove the cover, to spot it's source. P/S hoses, normally leak, at, or near the couplings, so if you check the areas, where the hoses attach, you may spot the problem.
