Power steering leak, potential places to look?

[The Fatty]

I have a leak somewhere in the system. It appears to only leak when the steering is being used. For example, I filled the reservoir and drove to st albans (motorway) and it only lost a little bit. Then did some maneuvering around town, three point turns ect and it lost everything visible in the tank. Filled it up again, hen drove home (motorway) and it only lost a little again.

I have checked the pas switch as indicated in this photo but its dry:

Is there another switch somewhere to check? Or are there any other obvious places to be looking based on the symptoms?

I've always thought when looking at it that the section of pipe that is under the airfilter and bolted to the front gearbox mount looks a bit vulnerable. I'd take a look there first. After that check where it passes over the gearbox (difficult to see without using a mirror).

Yup, they usually go under the battery tray.

Can also leak out of the pump itself which should be easy to spot.
