As Rick said, check your ps fluid level. If it's low then more than likely you've found yuor problem. If it is your problem then you need to take care of it asap and don't run the pump dry. Replacing the pump is maybe the biggest PIA to perform on these cars. I think I'd rather pull a motor than replace a pump. You really need to get the car on some jack stands and look for yourself. Find the wet spot and follow it to it's source. No way you'll get a realistic answer by giving us a picture of two puddles on the pavement.
