Power steering problem????

Ok so i was driving last night I accidentally curb checked my rims while parallel parking. So this morning driving out to school i hear this weird squeaking and whining whenever i'm turning. It only comes from the right side wheel, where i curb checked the rim. And its a little harder to turn when the cars not moving. I look at the steering fluid and i filled it up last week and now its 1/8 left. Look under the right hand side fender and there is power steering fluid everywhere, i mean EVERYWHERE.

Has anyone heard of this problem or know what I could have done to the car?

i have no idea... my first instinct would be to look under the hood or jack the car up if necessary to see if you can tell where the fluid is coming from
