1st is right at the reservoir. The 2 hoses that lead into the plastic reservoir degrade and leak.Check inside the fender and see if fluid is leaking. Check the mud flap to see if fluid is on it. If it is then the leak is at the reservoir. The best way to fix the problem is cut the hoses down 10 inches and replace them with new ones.
2nd is the return line. This is from the pump to the reservoir and will leak at the pump. Replacement is the only cure.
3rd just about any other leak is leaning towards a rack replacement. But take heart. I had the rack on an 86 900 leak and them stop all by itself.
