Default Power steering leakage

I've got a leakage in my power steering oil system on the right side. What to do? I would like to have a drawing of the steering system.

Thanks a lot,
P.Prins

I also have a power steering leak. I think my hose from the reservoir needs to be replaced, as the leak seems to originate from under the tank. I am also wondering if anyone could help me get some drawings and repair info? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

if it's leaking on the side your steering wheel is on, it's your rack. make sure you keep fluid in the system or you'll need to replace the pump too.

Ok, I just took the under-carriage plastics off and it seems quite straight forward on how to replace the hose (I believe its the supply hose that is the smaller one coming off the bottom of the reservoir). If I replace it and drain the fluid from the reserve through the supply line, what should I do when replacing the fluid in order to avoid air in the line?
