Another power steering problem

Hey guys, I've got a 2001 f250 7.3 with 226,000 on it. I recently replaced my power steering pump, the line from the pump to the hydroboost, and the line from the hydroboost to the gear. I have no power steering and there is still a power steering leak. I've tried cleaning it and searching but I haven't found a definite leak anywhere. Any lines or fittings I should check in particular? Thanks in advance

Just a side note, I still have brakes and they feel normal

The return line from the Hydroboost to the pump. Look at the spot in the line where it rubs against the shock mounting bracket.

Well found the problem. It was leaking from the hose at the bottom of the pump, it looks like it goes to the cooler? Looks like the nipple was cracked or something. It snapped on me last night so I replaced the pump this morning. Feels great and can't see any leaks as of right now.
