on 2004 the PS pumps also sends fluid to the brake booster....so it could be leaking there as it was for another member....

2002 do not have PS brake booster....
So that leaves pump, hoses, PS oil cooler and PS actuator......
SO if they replaced all of these....then they should do a leak test using some die and ultraviolet light source.....
HTH

Mine had to have the steering rack replaced. I took it in once for repair and they thought it was just a defective o-ring on one of the hoses. They replaced that and within two weeks it was leaking again. Replaced the rack and it's been good ever since. At it's worst it was leaving obvious puddles of fluid wherever I parked.
