Default Power steering fluid leak

Hey, I replaced my power steering pump and the replacement started leaking so I got it warrentied and got another one, and now I go under my car and everything underneath is wet with power steering fluid again, this is driving me nuts because i've been trying to figure whats been leaking for months, and its so cluttered down there its hard to see whats leaking exactly, can some one give me some advice on how to find if its a line leaking or the pump it self, theres fluid on everything...

did you block off the rack lines when you changed the pump?...the rack will leak metal shavings into the pump which can cause a quick failure...also check the fitment of the pump
