Power Steering fluid leak help.

Hey guys, don't post much here because I search for my answers but I need help this time.

I have a 2002 F-350 6.8l. I got into it today and started it up to find I had no power steering. Check the ground and sure enough an oil spot. The reservoir was empty as well. So I filled it up and started the truck.

I found there is a leak on the driver side of the motor and it LOOKS like its coming from where the head meets the valve cover and its dripping onto the manifold. Any idea? I as expecting a bad pump or a worn hose but I'm not sure where it's coming from.

Any help would be great. Thanks a lot.
