Unhappy coolant leak is still there!!!

im almost sure the pump isnt leaking but maybe a hose or something but the weird thing is that after driving like 3 mins before temp gets over 180 sometimes i loose the power streering, i figured that the coolant must be hitting the belt and slipping so i loose power steering but i see coolant in the left side of my intake elbow like if some one sprayed a bit of coolant on top of the elbow. where do you think the leak is comming from?
i know its not the bleeders but could a hose have such pressure to spray coolant? i also saw some coolant falling from the hose in the right side of the pump from the metal tube. please help me cuz i just fixed the high rpm miss and the car is running great!!!!
i just need to fix this to take it to the track.
thanks

so y put the car in ramps and started it and waited with a lamp underneeth for 25 mins and no drops!!!!
y guess is when its running at a certain speed.

i saw that my hoses arent all the way in but good enought you thjink at a higher rpm rate the coolant pressure could make the hoses spray??coolant.

i dunno what it is, is like the leak is running from me.
i have a couple of videos in one of them im pointing at the elbow where somtimes i see coolant please help.

If you beleive your leak is coming from one of your hoses I would highly recommend going to your local autoparts place and renting a pump to pressurize your cooling system.
