Just like looking for an oil leak, bud. Clean the bottom of PS pump, PS gear, hoses and everything else with degreaser. Then, when it is all dry, take it for a test drive. Wherever you see leakage from, replace that componant. In my experience it will most likely be a hose. If your Jeep has 268K+ miles on it like mine does. It could be just about any of the componants. So far...(knocking on wood)...I'm good.
