My 2000 V8 is leaking power steering fluid where the reservoir hose/fitting enters the pump. Is there any reason to believe there's something wrong with the pump? I would guess it's just an oring.
Does anyone have a procedure to drain/refill the power steering system?
I took a picture of the leaking connection for reference.
All recommendations are welcome.

Thanks

I have something similar on my '03, I can't tell for sure from the pick where yours is, but on mine it was right near the driver side front tire that I would find it (just a couple drops at the end of driving).

Anyway, it turns out the clamp on the hose just needed to be replaced. You might be lucky and this is all that yours requires as well.

Humorous edit: "I HAD something similar..."
 
I wasn't that lucky :-/ I ended up taking it to the shop and they took the power steering pump out to be checked. They tell me that the elbow fitting is supposed to be pressed into the pump. Mine was loose.
They ordered a new pump but they didn't get the right one so they soldered the fitting in place. I haven't had a chence to take a close look at the job but knock on wood, the leak is gone. We'll see...
