Default Power Steering

1st off id like to say ive had to replace the power steering pump 3 time in the last 2 years. All covered on warranty, but now warranty is out. So about 3 weeks ago i heard the same noise that my pump was out, check the power steering fluid, and it was completely empty, not a drop in it. So i filled it up, the noise stopped, now today i went for a mri at 6:15am and came back home to notice a fluid on the concrete where my truck was parked. I checked power steering and it was completely empty. Do you think Dodge would do something about this considering its been replaced 3 times in 2 years? Or is there something i would be able to fix myself?

what kind of vehicle is it? have you checked the lines? fittings? clamps? i know on the rams we had alot of problems with the factory hose clamps coming loose at the rack and pinion on the return line.

i filled it back up and looked to see if i could find the leak, and everything on the bottom is covered in fluid, there is one place i seen it looked like an O-ring and it was fluid around it, but i cant really tell where the leaking is coming from. Supposed to take it to the dealorship thursday. Pretty ****ty its the 2nd one in 12months and they wont warranty it.
