same problem with me, this is the second time my psf is leaking (both during the cold season start up) I took my truck to the dealership the first time and they fixed it and I had no problems until now (which is about a year) so I will most likely end up bringing it back to the dealership. It also depends where its leaking from, for example if the leak was in the tube, then thats easier to fix than if the leak were in the pump

I had my high pressure hose replaced just short of 36,000 under warranty due to the crappy clamp on the hose. There are numerous threads on how many have replaced the clamp. Would lose very little PS fluid during the warm months and much more when it got cold. Just 2 weeks ago, I had to replace the PS cooler at 54K due to it rusting through. The dealer actually told me that 4 years in the northeast ain't bad.
