Angry Power Steering Fluid Leak

my power steering fluid is leaking

ive gone through a few bottles of fluid before i had a chance to really look at it

it starts leaking as soon as the car starts up and turns

i have some pictures of where the leak is coming from but it was a difficult spot to put the camera

its leaking in two spots from the pipes. both are red arrowed

what should i do

theres two pictures that have a good view of it, the others are just the general area


ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED, thanks!

I just had the same problem on my 2000 z28. I thought it was the power steering pump that was leaking, but it ended up being the high pressure hose for the power steering pump. It cost me about 25 bucks
