power steering leak?

I have a 2006 F350 6.0. the last couple days I have noticed a small spot of oil on the garage floor. It is red and definiatly not engine oil. It appears to be up towards the front driver side on the truck. Everything appears dry from lookin under it. Is it the power steeringl eaking the fluid? As I see no trans lines any where near the area where I think the spot on the floor is comparedto where the truck sits. The truck has about 65000 miles on it, the power steering resivoir does not look low. I hope to get this figuresd out as I cant stand oil on the floor. thanks for any help, Aaron

It could be coming from the intercooler duct on the driver's side. In terms of Power Steering, it's not unheard of to have a leak at the lower seal on the steering box. That would make the p/s fluid drop in the reservoir, though.
