PAS Fluid BIG leak... Pump or Hoses? Probability??

I have lost all my Power Steering fluid...(after filling it up again Big Cry )

I cant quite see where it is coming from... It is NOT the rack (Thankfully) or the Fluid Master Cylinder.

So has anyone seen this before...
could it be the Pump that has somehow sprung a leak OR is it possibly the pipes (or the one use washers perhaps).

It is a bit of a PITA to get to too Crying or Very sad

Have you had any significant work done on the LHS or bottom engine bay in the last couple of years?

I had this a few years ago. Turned out to be a couple of tired o rings that cost pence to purchase and many pounds to fit by the $tealer.

Might be worth looking at this before anything potentially more costly.

Mine was a leak in one of the pipes on the rack, rusted away and developed a pin hole that pi55ed fluid every place.

Hard to spot but easy changed. New pipes came from bay of fleas.

So what is the trick to getting at that awkward bolt?

I've been meaning to change my PAS pump for ages and now it's getting really noisy and warbling a bit! Not sure if this is a DIY job or not TBH.

If you look at the pas pump you can see the top of the banjo bolt and mine was weeping from this, quick nip up and 3 years later its still dry.
