Steering fluid leak

When the Blue Flame was on the lift getting the rear gear upgrade, I had the chance to examine the underside. Everything seemed good with the exception of what appeared to be a leak of some sort at the front of the front k-member. A closer look and it was apparent it was Mercon V fluid from the power steering. :(

What's the odds of it being a hose? I wiped everything down but it was nearly impossible to locate the source. It appeared to be in the area of the power steering pump.

The steering rack was replaced last year and I have a spare pump. But I also have been considering deleting the power steering and installing a manual rack. :eek:
