Default Power steering fluid leak, am I in trouble?

I have a 2007 Honda Civic LX with 113,000 miles. This is my first car and just purchased it 2
months ago. Over the last month I’ve had to refill the power steering fluid reservoir twice because it keeps draining. I’m not able to see any leaks under the hood although I’m not very knowledgeable of cars, i don’t know where I should be looking. I’m gonna take it to the mechanic this weekend to have them maybe inspect it and give me a quote, what’s the best outcome and what’s the worst outcome? Is something like a power steering leak an expensive fix, like in the thousands?

Depending on the source of the leak, you may be out 100-200 dollars. The mechanic is also a wildcard since their prices can vary. If the mechanic gives you a price in the thousands, post the diagnosis here and then start looking for a new mechanic
