Default First problem with the 75, power steering leak.

Purchased the 75 last weekend and the bottom was dry before and after test drive. When I drove it the other day I noticed a couple of drips on the driveway. After pulling it in yesterday I noticed alot of fluid on the driveway and the underside is soaked with fluid. It does not drip on the floor when parked but leaks alot when the wheel is turned all the way. I have a side entrance garage and you need to turn the wheel hard to get in and there is a trail of fluid at that point. Have not had a chance to really get under there. Where should I start the troubleshooting?
