OK, so she leaked a like crazy driver side somewhere from motor which I can't find where it was leaking. I let it sit for 2 days, turned Jeep on and I didn't see a leak.
So whats with this? Could it of been it had to warm up a lot more?

Test it the same way as when it leaks.

Could it possibly be the power steering pressure hose? Or is it on the block?

I would clean off all oil, gunk, buildup, and go from there. One of the easiest ways to track down a leak.

Wait...You might be on to something.
Is power steering clear brown as somewhat of a lighter oil smell???

It's usually kinda clear or red depending on brand and age.
Step One: Determine whats leaking, then panic...

It wont leak until I turn wheel. And it is for sure power steering. I just am blind when it comes to seeing where it is coming from.

Put on a set of goggles, not safety glasses, not sunglasses, GOGGLES and have someone ELSE turn the wheel back and forth.
