Default power steering fluid loss

so, im leaking power steering fluid, to my knowledge i did not run over anything to cause a puncture or crack anywhere in the hoses around/under/near the engine that carries the p/s fluid, yes i went under the car and looked myself to make sure and like i said nothing was showing, yet its leaking, its leaking slowly, about once a month or more i would say im going to have it put in if i dont find where its coming from, so my question is, anyone know where/why i could be leaking it? such as seals in the engine its some how coming out of? etc.

much appreciated

It may be leaking at the high and low pressure hoses, the rack seals, the pump, the reservoir, etc. Here is a link for flushing the power steering fluid: http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articl...r/psflush.html
You should flush the fluid, before replacing any parts. You also would need the BentleyPublishers.com Audi shop manual CD, if you want to do your own repair.

im going to assume rack seals, its not leaking from the hoses leading from the reservoir to the engine, but its leaking from somewhere towards the back of the engine
