my power steering fluid is leeking all over my drive, at first i thought i didn't but the cap back on tight enough, but after filling it up, its still leeking.

its leeking on to the exhaust as well so its not given off a nice smell when its running and a fair bit of smoke.

any ideas what it could be? took a pic but it was the best i could get! got no jacks!

sorry bout size dont know how to scale it down.!

check all your hoses are ok and that no clips have come off!

The fluid reservoir should slide out of the little clip it sits it, check the connectors on the bottom of that aren't damaged. Whereabouts is the puddle in relation to the engine bay? Under what part of it?

You said u took the pic with no jacks so assume its taken from under the car? Looking at the steering rack? Checked the hose connections to the steering rack?
