Default Power steering leak

Hi all, i have quite a large power steering leak and was wondering if there is any common placed where they always leak.

The leak looks to be coming from the small bore pipework that goes to the rack. Iv only had a quick look and will get it up in the air soon so i can get a better look.

Any pointers would be appreciated tho.
Thanks

check the rack gaiters themselves see if there full of fluid,the seals can go and cause them to leak inside and fill up
