Thanks Nick
The woosh sound "might" be normal. Check the Power Steering reservoir and see if it's low. The PS reservoir is the little dark bronzish can that you can't see through.

The clear liquid could also be the ooze that drips from broken TC rod bushings. Where is the liquid, how much is there, and what is the consistency? Is is sticky? The TC rod stuff is sticky. If it's really slick, it's probably PS fluid...which shouldn't be in there anyway. You should have ATF in your PS system (Nissan designed it that way). PS is too viscous and will leak out. Trust me.
