Need help in locating power steering leak

Hey Guys,

The ML 55 has developed a very fast power steering leak and I can see it dripping from the bottom of the vehicle.

I climbed under there and snapped some pics. I am not sure if the leak is coming from the hose or the rack. Almost looks like it's coming from where the banjo fitting on the hose meets the steering rack.

Where do these cars usually like to leak from? Both the hose and the rack look like they have been replaced at some point.

The vehicle has 160k on the clock. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Did you do what MattML430 suggested to locate your leak? An update would be nice.
