when the high pressure line starts leaking, it gets ALL OVER THE PLACE. it will cover the entire rack along with the lower cross member, oil pan, oil pump and the power steering pump. it starts out slow and just gets worse and worse.
mine has been leaking for almost 9 months now. i just dont have the time to fix it at the moment. i just wrapped a towel around where the leak was and ziptied it on so it doesnt spray anywhere when under load. point is, i have to extensively clean my engine bay/under engine with a pressure washer and degreaser every few months because it looks like a bomb of power steering fluid has gone off all over everything!
the OEM/OEM style high pressure lines just flat out SUCK! they last about 30-50k miles at most. there is no fixing them when they go either. just have to suck it up and get a new one. though, there are tons of companies now that sell AN fitted steel braided hose setups that eliminate this problem (of which i plan on using when i fix it one of these days in the near future when i have some time to myself)
