Any thoughts/common problems? It's using between min and max on the power steering fluid reservoir every 1000 miles.
 
No common problems as far as I'm aware.

Be worthwhile putting it over a pit/on a ramp and see if you can spot where it's leaking.

Make sure you check the visible hoses first though, the ones you can get to from the top of the bay. Also the seals around the pump :)
 
You probably have a leak somewhere, you should not be losing any fluid at all as its a sealed system and the fluid doesnt get burned off like say engine oil.

The pipes can become corroded due to age and they leak, few owners on here have had to change them.
