Power steering fluid LEAK
I have a power steering fluid leak ('91 Honda Accord). 
The first time I noticed it, there was a little puddle underneath the car under the hood very close to the left front wheel.
The second time, for some reason I saw a little puddle underneath the car (I checked, it wasn't there before I parked either time); but it was towards the front middle, not the left side.
I'm taking it to a mechanic tomorrow.
Is there anything the mechanic should do and/or look for?
Why would the leak be at the extreme left side one time, and in the middle the next time?
From the location of the little puddle on the ground, would it be possible to have an idea of where the leak was coming from exactly (ex: pump? hose? rack?)
Thank you!
