Default Power Steering Leak (Picture)

It looks to me like it's leaking from the pully system but I don't know for sure. If that is the case do I need to replace the pump or the pully? Thanks for your help. Sorry forgot to add that its a 98 A4 1.8T

what color coolant do you have it the car? You have a power steering leak, its at the supply line to the pump. Cut off clamp and replace with a worm ring style clamp. I'd replace all the clamps. There are two on the reservior, two on the oil cooler, and then one on the pump. They are located on the drivers side. The green fluid on the pump looks like coolant and the water pump is located right above the power steering pump. good luck

My coolant is pink and my power steering is green. I will replace the clamps and see what if that fixes the leak. Thanks

Well you have brown power steering fluid leaking from the feed line going to pump. Then you have green fluid leaking from the front, Which made me believe you have a leaking water pump. From the picture your waterpump is cover in some junk. Have you replaced the timing belt and water pump yet if not do so.
