Power steering leak

You can get a liquid dye to put in the system. You need a UV light to scan the system for the leak it will glow green

Are you sure that you don't have power steering? It sounds to me like you have a leak in your power steering and low on fluid. The battery light is usually an indication that your alternator is not charging.

If you can,wipe all the fluid up then crank up and look,if none comes out,then take a drive and check to see where it's coming from,normally the high pressure hose at the crimp.

Most automobile power steering units consist of a pump and built-in reservoir for power steering fluid (consult the manual or dealer for proper fluid type as some use Power Steering Fluid and others use Auto Transmission Fluid). The capacity is about a quart.
If you're loosing / adding fluid frequently, you have a leak. The system is a closed type, meaning all the fluid is circulated in the system and theoretically should never "require topping off." Look for wet hoses or drips under the car. Slip a piece of cardboard under the front of the car overnight to see how much / where the leak is located. Have the leak repaired - duct tape will not work!
Good luck!

look at the boots for the tie rod ends if there wet the steering rack is leaking internally

oil cooler lines, transmission pan, power steering leaking or axle seals. All are pretty common.

IF you open up the access cover for the oil filter you will see the cooler lines. If they are wet with oil you found the first leak.

The trans pan will be wet if the gasket is leaking

the front axle seal will be wet right where the axles go in the front end.

The power steering pump, lines, gear box will be wet if they are leaking.

it sounds like power sterring, check level of fluid, inspect around pulley, if it is wet or oily looking, the seal is going bad, you can put some power sterring stop leak in it, it will buy you some time until you can change the pump

The pump itself most likely is the leaking problem. Also follow the lines from end to end to see any leaks, mainly at the connectors. Fill the power reservoir and turn the steering far to the right and look to see if you can see any leaks, do the same by turning it to the left. The car must be running.

could be a leak in the pressure hose,could be the return hose leaking,could be the gearbox leaking,i'd get under it with the engine running and have someone turn the steering wheel back and forth and see where it leaks from, if the pressure line is leaking its about 25 to 30 bucks for a new hose,

Very common problem on this car. Usually it is a combination of 2 items: the pressure hose to the rack & pinion and the power steering pump itself. Since the hose is located above the pump it most likely will look as if the pump is leaking. Suggestion: if the hose is wet, replace it first (it's a 2 piece deal), then thoroughly clean the area including the pump. Run the car for awhile and recheck for leaks. No leaks - you got off cheap. :)
