No Leaks, Power Steering
Alright, I saw another post on here about power steering w/ no leaks. But there was a problem putting it in reverse.
In my case that doesn't apply to me. Here's the problem. The power steering on my Accord needs fluid every week. My bf and my brother have tried looking for leaks and found one. My brother had fixed it. This was happening at the same time when we replaced the VSS. Now that the leak has been fixed I find the Power steering making noise, once we add the fluid it's fine. 2 weeks ago I bought Power steering fluid. That lasted Until Monday 8/6/12. As of right now my bf is searching if there is another leak somewhere and still no leak. Any thoughts?? Thanks in advanced!

Check the o-ring at the p/s suction hose. Sometimes if it is leaking, air will get sucked into the system causing a whining noise and causing the fluid to get push right out of the top of the resevoir. This ussally will happen at cold start up.

One possible place for PS fluid to leak invisible, is into the rack boots. Open the large boots on the steering rack, for the tie rods to each wheel. Those should only have air inside, no fluid.
If the hydraulic cylinder in the rack is leaking, it can build up quite a bit of fluid in there before it starts leaking OUT.
