Default power steering issues

Ok So it started off little and now it pours out like a mother. It hasnt shorted my alt yet. I tried to locate it but its kinda hard to see. I found fluid on the high pressure line. Looked under the car and found fluid on the soft/hard line. It will also fall on either my headers or my pump because itll smoke alot. Does it normally pour out really badly like that? Is there a thread on how to remove the hardline? Is there any special tools to pull it off?

Is it leaking out the fill cap?

Is it mixed with antifreeze?

A yes to either ? is probably a faulty PS cooler in your radiator and get the 30$ radiator hose to bypass it.

No leak from the fill cap the ps cooler is that metal piece in the radiator line correct? It doesnt leak from that comes out the bottom of the pump unit somewhere. I want to take the whole thing off to try and find it but I need a pulley puller first
