A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and repaired. The fluid level should be between the ADD and HOT marks when the engine is cold. When the engine compartment is hot, the level should be at the HOT mark. If the fluid is at the ADD mark when the engine is cold or hot, power steering fluid should be added. 376
