Default Need a little help

I have a 01 CTD and I have a power steering fluid leak somewhere. Has anyone else ever had this and if so, how did you solve it. I have not found any leaks, but, the fluid is low and it is all over everything.

Thanks

Someone had already taken the oil catch cup off the front, I just got that in and reinstalled it. That made a hugh mess on the front of the engine and undercarriage. I continued looking and found the fluid all over everything and traced it back to the power steering unit. I am going to refill the unit, put the truck on a lift and powerwash the undercarriage trying to clean the years of mess left by not having a catch cup there.

Funny thing, my Chevy has a leak in the high pressure hose and is also out of fluid, all in the same day.......Go figure.
