I refill my power steering fluid every other day. I check to see where the fluid is leaking from but couldnt find one. Its leaking on the driver side. It leaks when I am driving and not. When there is no fulid in the power steering tank, when I turn it makes a grinding noise. I am thinking its the power steering belt. It stop grinding whenever I refill the tank. I dont know where to check or what to do next and it continues to leak and I go throught at least 2 32 oz of powersterring each week.

Hi there,

The noise is the pump running dry as there is no oil, this will destroy the pump, if you cant see the leak you will have to get the car on a hoist and have the rack checked as well as the hoses for the leak.
