The leak appears to be around the cap. I have replaced the cap and insured that the level is correct. It will leave several drops on the ground when parked after driving and blows back in the engine compartment.

If you move the steering wheel without the engine running it will cause the fluid to come out of the cap BTW. I would check out the high side hose as well. Here is a video to help you see how to check the hose out.

Here is how it will be on your car (below)

Please let us know what you find.
