Default power steering leak

I have a 98 TA that has a serious power steering leak. The crap is everywhere so I'm not sure where it's coming from and was wondering if their is a line or something that is more apt to leak than others or what? Seriously any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!

first thing to do is clean it real good. then look for the obvious. fill the resvoir with power stearing fluid, there is a dye you can add that is floreasent. some dye require a black light and im not sure if this is one of. if you cant do it take it to a shop.good luck

Clean it off first of all then start your car and check the lines for leaks. If the lines are good check the steering rack bellow boots, if it is your rack then your going to have to replace it.
