PS Fluid Leak

[f150fan]

My 97 TR SHO has developed a noticeable power steering fluid leak which has started about two weeks ago. I have to refill the power steering fluid resivoir every 3 days and there is always a puddle of fluid underneath the car on the passenger side right underneath the firewall. I haven't had a chance to crawl under there and examine it but from the v8sho diagrams it looks like the most probable leak is where the power steering line goes into the steering rack. (which seems where the leak is comming from, passenger side right near the firewall) Anyone have any tips or ideas on what I will be getting into? Thanks in advance!

It will also leak from the pump area, located on the right side of the motor. You can see the two hoses on the pump. On my former '96, one of the clamps was not placed correctly, causing it to whine and leak a bit. Also check for dry rotted hoses.
