Default Power steering fluid squirting out of my 90...

Ok, so like 2 weeks ago I put the front of my car up on jack stands to replace my front suspension. Everything went fine for about a few days while I ordered parts. About day 4 I noticed that it started to leak power steering fluid, or hydraulic mineral oil as Audi likes to call it, and then about 2 weeks total go by I finish up tonight and go for a test drive. I could really hear the power steering pump whinning and when I pulled back into the garage the reservoir had fluid all on the outside of it. Took of the spring cap and saw little bubbles...fluid level seemed out but I don't know why it's leaking out the top or what I need to do...any suggestions?

*update*

Ok, so I unscrewed the power steering reservoir from the fender and cleaned all the fluid up and actually found a new razor blade from a knife sitting under it! Funny thing is, no lines were cut and it looks like my PS pump is shot so I'm getting it replaced tomorrow and hopefully all will be well.
