Default power steering leak?

I have a power steering leak on my 98 A4 2.8q, I have to add fluid about every 2 weeks, but I look on the ground and see no leak spots? Anybody with similar prob.
Thanks for the input.

Default Take off the bellypan and look at the power steering fluid cooler loop...

....which is right by the radiator. There is a hose coming to this cooler-loop and one coming off of it. I had a leak at one of the hose clamps at this loop. Replaced the clamp with a new one and no more leak.
