Power steering oil leaks badly

My 95 Camry was leaking fluid everywhere, from below the reservoir to the tube to the pump and down to the floor was oily (I add fluid everyday).

Have anyone knows how to fix that leaks problem
Very appreciate !!!

No, I am not sure where that leaks from, I cleaned the hole yesterday when I fill some more fluid in.

It seem like no crack on the line but around the pump there is oil dripping.
Have you get any idea How to identify and what to do
Thanks in advance!!!

Well I would GUESS that the internal seals in the pump have failed. I think.... Im guessing but you probably need a new pump. Hard to say without looking at it. Maybe its just a connection outside of the pump. That would be much easier to repair.

This happened to my Gen 2 a few months ago. It was the high pressure hose. The pump looked soaked, so i thought it might've been the joint/connection at the pump, but fluid was leaking down the hose onto the pump.

Best way to test this is to turn the engine on (still parked), dry steer to full lock a few times. Turn engine off and look for leaks. If it dropped a fair amount of fluid, it's the high pressure hose (easy to identify when parking as well if you're still using it as a daily driver).

Thanks! It leaks fair amount of fluid. There are 2 hoses line: which one is low pressure and high pressure
