Default Leaking something on sharp turns

Something is leaking when I take really sharp turns and only when I take left turns. It hits the exhaust manifold and smoke builds up. I was told it might be power steering but I don't think so? Thanks

Sounds like power steering is the most plausible cause, check the reservoir and lines for leaks since it is right above the driver manifold

Well I figured out the power steering pump is on the drivers side and it's leaking out the passenger side. My abs light is on, could it possibly be a brake line or the transmission fluid? When the oil leaked on the ground it was reddish. So I'm thinking trans fluid
