Leaking Power Steering

Need some advice. I decided to flush my old power steering fluid. Did the technique where I raised the front wheels, disconnected return line to pump, turned the steering wheel max to max pumping fluid into bucket. I added fluid to top after every steering wheel cycle. I never let it run dry as far as I know. My wife started noticing a leak 2 months later. I just looked and see drips from front cross bar just below the pump. I looked and fluid almost empty. I just refilled it and tomorrow will raise it up and see if I can locate the leak.

Any experienced advice? Do I need a new pump? What is best way or location to look for leak?

Clean all areas thoroughly of leaked fluid. Make sure pump is full. With car on jack stands have someone turn the wheels left to right. You should see the source.
