Check for a broken hose.

i have and i cant find any

is there any possibility that it could be leaking from the main pump...like out of there the pulley is or something

Did you check the power steering pressure switch? This is a part which is prone to leak. It's on the line connected to the rack & pinion.

On the big connection that one of the lines goes to there are two seals inside there. That was my prob

Mine leaked from the input shaft seal.

Mine leaked from the bottom of the steering box, right where the pitman arm connects. I had to have a seal replaced.

Mine leaked at the pump shaft bearing. The oil ran down into the mounting bracket and leaked onto the hoses and steering box, causing a false impression that they were leaking.

I put in a rebuilt pump from Autozone. Not a difficult job, but you must borrow the tool to pull off and press on the pulley.
