2005 Lincoln Navigator power steering leak

[phillykorean]

Hey I have a 2005 Lincoln Navigator base model and I noticed that power steering fluid is leaking from the front of the car and the car was making a groaning sound when I turned the wheel. I wanted to ask if anyone knows if it is the power steering hose or the power steering pump. The reservoir is under minimum but halfway full. I noticed it leaks to the same level every 6-8 hours so I have to top it off when I leave the house and right before I go home from work.

The determination of the leak requires a visual inspection.
None of us can see your vehicle.

The possibilities are
Hoses or lines to include the fittings
The pump or gear assembly.

This is not a common issue. My 2006 Navigator with 220,000 miles does not leak.
