What are the common causes of a power steering fluid leak in an Audi 80?

I noticed a small puddle of fluid under my car and now my power steering seems to be working less efficiently. What could be causing this and how do I fix it?

Leaks in the power steering fluid can be caused by various issues such as worn out seals, damaged hoses, or a malfunctioning pump. It is important to have a mechanic properly diagnose the issue to determine the best course of action.

Regularly check the level and condition of your power steering fluid to catch any potential leaks early. Also, avoid using additives in your power steering system as they can cause damage and increase the risk of leaks.

If you notice a leak, refill the power steering fluid to the appropriate level and have it checked by a professional as soon as possible. Driving with low power steering fluid can cause damage to the system and make steering more difficult.
