leaking power steering fluid

Great, thanks for your insight. On further inspection it looks like both ends of the hose have ps fluid on them so there is probably a crack in that hose somewhere near the top and it is just leaking inside that outer sleeve that covers that hose and that fluid is what is dripping out of both ends of the outer sleeve and unto the metal ends. the bottom end of the hose looks like a tight fit and a real knuckle buster to get a wrench on, but thats why they make gloves!

Any ideas on how to get the lower end of that hose off? I took off the fan shroud to get a better look at it and man, not much ro0m down there I am afraid I will put a hole in the radiator if my wrench slips
