Power Steering Fluid Leak with a New Twist

Regardless, gotta check out my 2 links....hehehe
Discovered a puddle of red fluid in my garage after the really cold days of last week here in Ohio (-15 F). At first I was afraid it was tranny fluid, as I changed my tranny fluid myself over the summer (I always doubt the quality of my own work for some reason). Crawled under the truck to find its actually PS fluid coming from the send/return hose(s) that transfer fluid from the res to the cooler up front. Going to try to clamp these things off, as it looks like I've lost at least a cup or two of fluid. No chance of cleaning anything up though, as its snowing here AGAIN.
mine had been leaking for months, i felt like such an idiot. my truck is lifted, so it was really easy. i sat underneath it, and about 1 minute later and a hose clamp on the upper hose, it was fixed. i also found a trans line that was leaking...same thing, a hose clamp and it was fixed. on the power steering, the hose was sooo loose, i touched it and it would "spin" on the fitting. it looked like a crimped steel band was around it.
