There are 2 places you need to check for the leak..

1. Check your power steering pressure hose for a leak in the hose..It is on the passenger side behind the stut tower,it runs down behind the engine to the pump..

2. Check around the bottom engine pulley for oil leaking around it....

....and as long as you have to pull the crank pully... excellant time for a UDP install!!! You should be happy you now have an excuse for an upgrade!!! There are a few excellant writeups on UDP installs, sure made mine a breeze.
