2001 CL Type S Power Steering Leak

Hi everyone, I need some help. I changed both my power steering o rings on my 01 CL. It’s still bubbling in the reservoir. I looked everywhere for power steering leaks. I couldn’t see anything anywhere. Following the power steering hose, I noticed the pressure switch at the bottom was covered what seemed to be fresh liquid/black gunk. Could this be where I’m sucking in air? Has anyone ever replaced the switch and fix the problem? Any help/advice would be appreciated. I’m posting a picture.

If the area is wet with 'fresh liquid/black gunk', it's possible that the PS pressure switch and/or O-ring is faulty/worn, thus causing the leak. It (the switch) should be torqued to 8.7lbf-ft#20 & #22 on the link below:
