Can't find leak

slow leak in our steering. Put stop leak in and it drained out in 15 min. looked under later saw no drips on housing or hoses. Saw drops on lower bracket and under it. Added a little, started car, turned steering, got gritty humming both directions, but saw no other drips. I'm a church minister and incidental car maintenance guy. What should I do next,?

Get a couple cans of brake cleaner, clean all the lines, pump, and rack really well. With the front jacked up, refill the p/s reservoir. Engine off, crank the wheel back and forth several times. Check for evidence of leaks..... Keep in mind, it may be leaking out the ends of the rack, into the boots, and dripping everywhere from there...... if you don't see anything, start the engine, cycle the steering lock to lock several times, check for leaks....
