Power steering fluid

[andromeda]

Think I must have a leak somewhere as the liquid is dropping fast. Topped up when last stored and have driven home, ( about 3miles) to empty van and had problems when turning van round near home. Topped up again and checked after 5 mins and it seemed to be dropping again. No visible leaks under van. Recent engine out for cambelt, water pump and various other bits with a full service. Also welded underneath.
My question is if I keep topping up will I be safe to drive until I can get into the garage? Thanks for reading.

Yes if you keep topping up, strange no drips on the ground, storage and not using is the worst thing for vans/cars, old saying, use it or loose it.

Found where the liquid is going; also that probably air getting in as it bubbles when the engine on

Where is it going? There are varying views as to whether or not it is corrosive, but there appears to be a general consensus that it may attack elastomeric components; views vary as to whether it will attack paint. May also cause stains on driveways.
