As others have pointed out, you probably need a new power steering rack.
However, you also need to only use genuine Honda power steering fluid.
Other fluids, such as ATF, will degrade the seals and cause the rack to
leak. If you have non-Honda fluid in your unit, then it's fairly straight
forward to flush it out and put the correct fluid in the system. If a
mechanic put the wrong fluid in it, then bring him four or so bottles of
Honda PSF and have them redo it for you. As far as the leak under the
reservoir is concerned, it may be do to spillage from your putting so much
fluid into it. Alternatively, there could be a leak so carefully check the
condition of all of the hoses.
