Power Steering Leak

Well, I just had to fill up the power steering fluid againg. That is twice in the corse of 3 weeks, and now I am worried that it is going to be something expensive. I used some gunk be gone and cleaned out the whole engine around it, where there was what I thought was power steering fluid. Any common places that it leaks? Are there any additives that I can put in to stop the leak? And how can I really tell where it is comming from? It leaks on the whole side of the engine, it seems like it is comming from the top tube out of the power steering cilindar. How expensive could this be (worst case and best case)?

Thanks
Chris

I was just looking at carparts and I saw that they have a power steering seal kit. Do you guys think this could be it? Just a bad seal? The kit is about $12.

Thanks
Chris
