Default Power steering Leak

Hey Guys, I normally only drive my bravada during the winter, but I went to move it today and noticed the power steering pump groaning. Sure enough, I was almost out of fluid. I put more back in and it just puked it back out. I tore apart the front end today, and took a look at the power steering cooler. It is rusty, but it is not leaking from it. I dropped my plastic skid plate, and almost all of the fluid drips down above the oil filter. I am wondering without tearing too much more apart, if you guys could tell me which line is leaking? Thanks so much!

Probably just a line. They rust around the fittings(extremely common in states where they use salt) and leak. There are 2 hoses(hi and lo pressure). If theyre leaking from the fittings it will be obvious because the lines will be wet and dirt and grease will collect on them. Raise and support the front end and have someone spin the steering wheel with the engine running and see if you can spot any leaks

I just bought all new lines for mine, cost around $30 at advance. I haven't put them on yet as mine isn't actually leaking, but my lines are definitely old.
