I have a strange problem with the power steering oil. A couple of weeks back I noticed the fluid was at min. so I drove to Honda and got the oil topped up to max. I just checked the level again and the oil has run out and it is back at min.
I recently had the timing belt checked so maybe the belt for the power steering has not been tightend enough? but not sure if this could be the problem or if it´s something else.
 
I dont think this has anything to do with your belt mate!
Is there any leaks you can see? because it has to be going some were!
 
I kinda have this same problem and it turned out that my steering rack seals are worn and leaking.....check the steering rack boot rubbers to see if there's any fluid leakin from it....mine doesn't leak as fast as yours though!
 
Check where the PS pipes meet the rack and see if its leaking.If you've access to a lift should be easy to find the problem!
 
also they will have had to move the PS pump to one side and disconnect the feed pipe so check where the rubber pipe fits onto pump also! is clip properly fitted?
