Hi Dustin, As I advised Anthony the other day, if you see no fluid on the ground, it's likely filling the boots on the power steering rack. They can hold quite a bit without leaking it to the ground. Remember, too, that Vanagon power steering systems use Dexron (or Dexron III) automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and NOT power steering fluid. I've read numerous times where folks would put power steering fluid in and then have the steering rack seals fail prematurely.
