Powersteering issue?

I have a F100 1978 5.0 c6, seems like the power steering fluid runs out quick, I search for leaks no luck and I don't drive it too much. Anybody else having this issue???

It has to be a leak, no other way to lose fluid.

My high-pressure hose had a pin leak in it and fluid somewhat everywhere. Couldn't find the leak till the steering wheel was turned, a nice pin stream squirted from it.
