I posted this earlier without a title so not sure if it'll appear twice (apologizes if it does) I was checking over car at weekend and found a minor fluid leak at what I think (from reading previous posts) is the power steering cooler, it's located behind the passengers front fog light grill ,if someone could please have a look and suggest what they think the cause is and what the solution might be it would be appreciated

Can't guarantee that this is your problem, but the D3s seemed to suffer from power steering pipes leaking. What I would suggest is first giving the area a good clean and then see if you can locate the exact source of the leak. If it is a pipe, then I'd suggest you check out the following write-up, as I believe it may be the source of your problem:
