power steering fluid...

When I first checked about couple weeks ago, my power steering fluid was at MIN, so I put some in to about halfway between MIN and MAX. Now today, I checked it again and it's back to MIN. I don't think it's a leak. But is it normal for it to go down like that? Isn't it suppose to maintain a steady level?

It is either leaking or evaporating.

There was a previous post from an Audi owner(not a B6 S4)who had a similar problem and when they opened up his steering box, it had acumulated the lost fluid. Perhaps that is what is happening with our S4s?
