Default Steering fluid... leak?

Why do I keep finding power steering fluid laying on top of reservoir? Looks like its coming out of little hole in cap. Thanks for any help.

It may be overfilled or foaming. If it's not overfilled, look inside as soon as you shut the engine off and see if there's foam in there.
