Default power steering leak

before i put the camaro away for winter i noticed a pretty bad power steering leak, just sold a part off of my truck so i have the money to spend to fix it, looking on

its either coming from number 7 or 5, anyone have a leak from either of these locations, should i replace the whole tube or one of the seals/ clamp?

(would do more investigating but im up at college and cannot look, would like to order the part now so i can fix it over thanksgiving break)

hey man i just got out of your boat, broke and in college with bad powersteering. Mine was leaking from the inlet hose. i just kept topping it off with fluid every few days and used the lucas powersteering pump treatment. didn't stop the leak but my rack and pinion feels tighter. I just replaced the hose and the seals at the same time, if you're already there might as well. Best of luck.
