Default Power steering fluid leak

Has anyone else experienced fluid leaking out the top of the cap, from the little black nipple in the centre. It was fine until this cold spell hit us then the steering creeked until warmed up, now there is a covering of fluid over the bottle and on the inner wing. This is the screw on cap on Sierra/Escorts.
