Default Power steering leak - diagram needed

I have a leak in power steering unit, to me looks like it is coming from the bottom as the hose coming out of the unit it covered with fluid [honestly looks like oil as it is dirty but fluid level in reservoir has dropped].
I was told there is an o-ring [location wasn't specified to me] that can be replaced and that I should check that first before replacing

Looking for a schematic or exploded view of parts.
Looking for advice in trying to replace o-ring etc

Mine is doing that also, Mine is the hose itself where the steel is joined to the rubber section of the hose, I would think yours is the same. It just needs to be replaced.
