I think it may be the of the ps hoses under the left side of the car by the engine And suggestions on how to diagnose where the leak is? Any advice on replacing a ps hose? And advice on anything to do with ps.

If you have nonstock exhaust manifolds check to see if the hose is burned thru on the header. I would refill the pump & test it 1st before disassembling anything so you know if the pump is still good.
If it's the hose that conects to the rear of the pump & runs down the side of the head I have a good extra hose.
