Very STRANGE transmission fluid leak issue!

Hey guys,
I could use some help before I take the car into the shop again (already been twice).  I was scratching my head for a while yesterday!!!

Car is leaking transmission fluid.  I've already added 2 quarts over the past few weeks. (both times the shop said the car isn't leaking...)
I added a dye to the transmission fluid and got a black light to help identify where the leak is. When I put it up on the jack yesterday it looks like the leak is coming from the hose coming down from the power steering reservoir.  But how can that be? I put the dye in the transmission and the dye is coming out of the power steering!  not only that- the power steering fluid level has maintained a constant level of fluid.

Wanting to see if anyone has any insight before I take it into the dealership and probably get robbed!
2009 Lincoln MKX awd.

Thanks in advance!!
