Default Power steering leak

Anyone ever experience this? I've been trying to figure out my power steering leak and just found this tonight. The silver barb right in the center of the photo has come loose out of the pump. I was able to pull it out of the pump and fluid came out. The hose attaches from the reservoir to the pump. Can this fitting just be pressed back in or do I need a rebuild/replacement?

Did you resolve this? If so, how?
I am seeing PS fluid sprayed under the coolant tank, more on the back side of the belt, than the front, so am wondering if this is my issue as well.

I ended up just replacing the whole PS pump with a Turn One unit.
