Default V6 power steering

Hi and thanks for the membership in this forum.

Bought this 1984 Xr4i some weeks ago. It looks like the power steering is leaking.
Does some know about a great shop to buy PS hoses and pipes? What power steering fluid is the right one to use?

And NB, if someone have a Xr4i front bumper to sell, tell me

This Xr4i has a 2.0 I.S. bumper now

Is it the high pressure hose that's leaking (Pump to Rack)?
As I have brand fine new one still with the Ford parts sticker on for a V6.

The hoses should be ok, but the power steering is leaking another place, Its dripping from the place this picture https://goo.gl/photos/ZDJAEPtJ5jkFGJ5e7 shows. from the area where nut is. Following the illustrations, there is no gasket in the Pinion lower bearing assembly. Could it be as easy as just tighting the nut ? Or what gasket has to be replaced?
