My '99 XJ8 Vanden Plas has needed power steering fluid three times over the
last six months which seems odd to me. There are no leaks that I can see
and certainly nothing dripping below the car. Seemingly out of nowhere the
steering whines very loudly and the reservoir is low on fluid. I fill it up
and everything is okay. Any ideas?

Have someone turn the wheel to full lock both ways while you watch for
leaks. It may only leak at one end of the travel.
