Power steering HELP HELP

I have a major leak coming out of my power steering some place. Because there is fluid on every thing I can't find the hole of busted line. Also for some reason the fluid is real frothy looking not sure if its suppose to look that way of not.

Use Simple Green and clean the area. Have someone crank the truck and look for leak. Is it red or clear?

Yeah, that is power steering fluid. ATF. I would think hose or connection.

Good luck. And let us know.
