That's what I thought too; but when I put the ATF in it after my wife filled it with power steering fluid it was empty again but after filling it and running the steering stop to stop with the engine on it sucked some fluid in and the level went down but there was no fluid on the ground! I'm waiting to hear back from the dealer (my wife dropped it off this morning with no problems in the steering) to see what they say but I'm thinking it was just low and putting the lower weight fluid in it caused a problem and I should just flush the power steering fluid myself with the turkey baster a day method. The car was due for it's checkup anyway so i'm not worried about the diagnostic fee; I need all the service interval stuff reset anyway. At least if it needs a pump or something I have the spare parts from my '00 but if it's a hose you are right you would expect to see fluid on the ground. The fluid had to go somewhere.
