P/S pump? Camshaft seal? Valve cover gasket? What kind of fluid oil or pentosin?

you sure the fluid is clear? or is it light green almost clear. that's my guess and its the power steering pump...probably one of the banjo fittings needs new washer. clean off the pump really well and then turn on the car and steer it a bit and work the breaks too...go for a short windy drive. come back open it up and see witch of the fittings is wet...that will be the one you need to get new copper washers for...make sure they are compression fittings.
