Well there are a few options....

The Pump itself

One of the Hoses

Or the Steering box

What you will have to do to figure out were it is leaking is to clean the engine compartment if it coated with steering fluid. then have someone in the vehicle you under the hood looking at the different areas listed above. start the vehicle and have the person turn the wheel all the way to the right then and then all the way left. Just look for dripping or spraying.
