Default 1.8t power steering leaking

so i have a leak with my power steering and it's getting bad. whenever i turn my wheel to the left or right all the way, it leaks pretty bad beneath the car near the intercooler area. i was wondering if this is a hose/line issue or the whole rack setup?

thanks

The rack is way back under the firewall. Have you looked under there? Up by the intercoolers it about has to be the pump or a hose. Check the hose out of the resevoir..that gets loose sometimes. But since it happens under pump pressure, it's more likely a pressure hose or the pump.
