Power Steering leaking only turning left...

Okay, so I had another thread about deciding whether or not my power steering or oil was leaking bad enough to leak on the belt and spray the engine.

Well after some testing it comes down to the power steering... It leaks like a damn faucet when the wheel is locked to the left! I mean it's enough to fill up a cup.

Any one have any ideas on this? Maybe it's one of the lines? Or the pump itself? I would like to see if someone here knows before I tear it apart to get to it.

Thanks guys!

look at the pressure line on the power steering pump. The upper hose that threads into the pump. It may have backed off a little bit and leaks under load.

...and don't run your pump too low on fluid or you may ruin it.
