Leak locations & I had luck with this...

I had a leak at the pinion seal (where the steering column shaft from cabin comes into the rack). It was a slow leak, but steady and annoying. I finally got it to stop after adding some Valvoline SynPower Power Steering Fluid Plus Stop Leak.
I don't know if it's available in your area, but I got it at my local AutoZone shop for ~$3 a quart. It only took a few top-ups and the leak stopped.
Also, to scout for leaks, try the checklist on the Townsend Imports website. I've put a link to it below. Hope this helps!
