Power Steering Help!!!

I have a 92' F250 Custom with a 7.3 idi, looking for help and or guidance on addressing my power steering problem. The problem is... There is no power steering at all, the previous owner explained it to me as the fluid in the reservoir doesn't want to stay there, and since there is a constant lack of PS fluid the PS Pump does not work either. What things would need to be addressed in order to fix this problem, new parts? New hoses/clamps?

First find out where your PS fluid leak is. Is it the pump (unlikely), HI pressure line, LO pressure hose or LO pressure cooler?

You can id the PS fluid leak by filling the PS reservoir and then starting the engine. Have a buddy turn the wheel left and right while you look for the leak.
