Default Power Steering leak..

Does anyone experiencing a leak in their power steering fluid? I only have 4k miles on my tC but I noticed that it is leaking some steering fluid. I need to schedule an appointment to my dealer quick!

Just wondering if it is just me or is there any one else. For a new car I don't think i should be putting steering fluids at this time.

have the dealer check the steering rack, it might be leaking from there.. if it is.. you need to get them to replace it.. I would also call Scion Corporate they need to know this stuff..

Just wondering what ever happend. It seems mine is leaking too, the container always gets disgusting even after i clean it, and its on the metal underneath it, but nothing is leaking from my car, how would you know if its from the steering rack?

you'll have to talk to your dealer's service dept. There was a technical service bulleting for 05's. The steering rack and power steering pump have improved parts and they were putting them into the 05's. I wouldn't doubt that the pump that failed was the part they improved. Check your dealer.
