Default 06 Civic- Power steering Fluid leak?

Hey guys yesterday I noticed my power steering was making noises. I found out my fluid was only 1/4 away from being empty, way below the minimum.

Just last week I took my car to get brakes done at the dealer.

First off, what's the best way to figure out the source of the leak, kinda hard for me to tell.

Second, I've seen some advertisements for something you add to the power steering fluid supposedly to seal up some tiny leaks.

Third, is it possible the dealer when doing my brakes, also needed new rotors, dislodged something and/or somehow caused the leak? I'm just mighty su****ious now since they said my levels were good and just a week later I'm almost all out of fluid. They didn't mention anything about a leak.

Thanks guys!

brakes have nothing to do with power steering. fill the power steering up to the proper level with honda fluid and drive it you most likely don't have a leak.

what a lame response. How do you tell someone they don't have a leak, when they probably do?
