Default power steering leak

Has anybody else had a problem with their power steering leaking? I have an 03 Hemi and noticed just the other day that it is starting to leak. The truck only has 41,000 miles on it. It is not a huge leak, but it'll leave a few drops on the garage floor overnight. How much did it cost anyone to get fixed? Thanks.

dodge has had a problem with this when the new body style rams came out in 2002. just go buy some 5/16" hose clamps and replace the factory clamps on the hoses going to the top of the steering rack and problem solved...it'll cost ya a whole $1.50 and maybe a six pack depending on how fast you work

Same here, threw on a pipe clamp and filled up. No problem since. Worst part is the price of the fluid, haha.
