Oil leaking?

I got some oil on the power steering oil "bottle" I think, it is the black one next to the cooling fluid container, I think it is for the power steering? Around the top of it some kind of oil seem to gather, I clean it some time ago and now it is buliding up again, very little but where does it come from??! Can it be some kind of pressure in the bottle that makes small amounts of oil slip out at the top of the container even though it got a closed lid?
