Power steering leak [solved]

Mine leaks, I can visually see it and add a few ounces every couple months. It's getting worse, so I'm trying to figure out exactly where it's coming from. Anyone know a common place it would leak from? Is it just a seal? Or do I need to replace the power steering pump? It's getting bad enough that it leaves a small puddle in my garage after a few days. I'll try to take a picture and post it here.

Could be lines, rack, maybe pump. If you look at where the puddle is in relation to the engine bay that might help.
Post pictures, get under the car and have a look if you can.

no common known failures, not normal
clean thoroughly to find where it is coming from

Same thing with me. Sometimes the spring clamps will not hold tension after many years.

I would replace all spring clamps with screw type clamps.

I found it weird that there is only one small bolt that hold the one line as pictured here. Nonetheless, i replaced o rings and no more leak.
