Hi all

i have just bought this car and realised it has a power steering issue. The pump whines at low speeds and the steering is harder than if ought to be. I did the relevant research and have since topped it up with the appropriate fluid- mineral hydraulic fluid
it has improved as bit
however once parked up I get oil on road. It's def the power steering fluid but when it was on the ramp the mechanic said he could not find a leak. The drops are towards the front and just to the left of middle.


Mechanic thought it was from air con!
I have taken a photo from underside whilst Parked on the drive and would appreciate any help and advice.
Note I have limited DIY skills but prepared to try some basics
