Turn your vehicle off and then wipe the excess fluid from the power steering pump and line. Survey the power steering pump to see if their are any holes or dings. It may be hard to see so try using your hand to feel around. You may have to wait for engine to cool. If you did not find any leeks then top off the power steering fluid. Watch the power steering line while having a partner or friend turn the engine on and turn the steering wheel fully in one direction and the same in the opposite direction. Watch the power steering line to see how far up it is leaking. If you can not see where it is leaking because of too much fluid leaking, then re-wipe and try again. If you still can't tell then take the line off and make sure the hole on the pump where the bolt goes in is not damaged. Then make sure the bolt itself is not damaged.If the hole or pump is damaged then you need a new pump and if the line or bolt is damaged you need a new line.
Replace the damaged line and old fittings. If possible, use stainless steel tubing and fittings.

To replace the power steering pressure line on a 1996 Ford Taurus, first, make sure the engine is off and cool. Disconnect the negative battery terminal, then drain the power steering fluid. Remove the old pressure line by loosening the fittings at both ends—one at the power steering pump and the other at the steering gear. Install the new line by tightening the fittings securely and refill the power steering fluid before reconnecting the battery and testing the system for leaks.
Usually the leaks are at the high pressure line or the return line of the power steering pump. Tighten all the lines at the pump.
