power steering leak
My power steering fluid is being blown all over the engine area. I have changed hoses and cannot tell where the leak is comming from. It only takes a very short time to empty the fluid. Any and all help would be appreciated.

being blown all over the engine area suggests that it's coming from the pump rather than the control valve and is being whipped around from the fan.
Is the reservoir in good shape? The braised on hose return could be cracked or the drive-reservoir seal is dead - I would pull that first and start there - not too painful once you get the alternator out.
