a good way to check for leaks is to pressurize the system somehow and see where those leaks are coming from. please do not blast water into there. but yeah, a good way is to pour power steering fluid in there, have a pan at the bottom to collect some drippings, and have a friend steer the wheel left and right to see where the leak is coming from. while your pouring fluid in there, steering the wheels when its jacked up should build pressure in the system, and obviously causing a leak to show somewhere down there.

hope that helps. good luck!
