Well,

Ironically enough I was turning into an autozone yesterday and I hear a grind and my steering got real tight. I inspect and my driver side fender is covered in steering fluid, and leaking bad. The reservoir is low on fluid now too. Oddly enough it was 7:15pm and autozone was closed :(. So I went to the gas station next door, got some fluid, and added fluid. I drove the car home, and the pump was still a little noisey, and somewhat tight.

I got home and again low on fluid. Now I tried to check, but stupidly I sprayed everything down then went to look :(. I'm wondering if anyone experienced this before. I know there isn't much to the system. My intake and intake manifold in the center were mostly wet.

Any help is appreciated.

Probably blew a pressure hose.

Up top....I pulled the pump off yesterday and it looks dry. The underside is drenched. Any ideas?

Not without looking at it. Put the pump back on, fill it with fluid, remove your intake piping if it's blocking your view, have another person turn the car on and crank the wheel from side to side while you watch the hoses with a flashlight. Look for spray or any leakage.
