Is it Power Steering Fluid leaking from on my 1999 Honda Accord 1.8 Auto?

It seems to be both sides of the car. I checked on the passenger side and it drips from underneath where the front corner of the valance is, so roughly below where the reservoir is. But I am sure I see drips on the floor of the other side of the car.

Please help!

Update:

It appears to be black fluid, but has no smell.

I checked the level and it seems to be low, but above minimum. Doesn't seem to be lower than I checked last time a few months ago.

    Power steering fluid is red. Are your drips?

    It could be dripping from almost anywhere and running along the topside of the skirt/front panel/valance before find a hold to drip through.

    It is an MoT failure, though, so either you or a mechanic will have to sort it out. In the meantime, keep you eye on the fluid level in the reservoir. Before you remove the cap, make sure it's scrupulously clean around it and that nothing falls in when the cap's off.

    Have you looked at the level of the fluid in the bottle?

    Check the handbook if needed.
