Power Steering Fluid?

[QUIENYO]

I've had my 2000 LX since June and was aware of a seep from the power steering reservoir where the hoses run to the pump. I wasn't too worried about it since the fluid level was good and I had no issues. The LX didn't drip any fluids so I was OK with a 26 year old SUV seeping. Today, I went to take it out and saw an oil stain under it about the size of a dollar bill. It was below the front passenger side of the engine bay, where I would expect power steering fluid to be. I briefly climbed under to have a quick look and the entire front passenger side suspension components were wet with oil. Popped the hood and the hoses from the power steering reservoir to the pump were caked and wet. The reservoir had plenty of fluid though. I took a few pics to share with the mud experts. Does this look like a power steering leak, or am I missing something else?

Thanks for any insight,
-Nate

is the PS reservoir low ?

His post said it's not. You may have two leaks going, I think you've also got a leaking CV band that's throwing grease (spray pattern). I'd clean both well and see what returns.

Yup that’s indeed a clear weep on both ps low pressure hoses. I would also suggest getting a new reservoir, they’re inexpensive considering the age and mileage it has at this point. And then do a proper ps fluid bleed when you have the new hoses and reservoir on. 2 job at most.
