I checked the places I circled in green, I wrapped a clean dry rag around them and turned the wheel.
The blue circles are places I think it might be leaking but don't know how to check them,
I might need to put it up on blocks and crawl under or take my bumper off. What do you think?
I ordered all new hoses, cost me like 19 bucks for three of them.
The leak is towards the front passenger and not towards the back.
Could it be leaking from the pump and I just can't see it leaking?
I know the belts are actively throwing PS fluid everywhere, it's a mess.

You don't need to remove the bumper to check the blue circles, though, it would be helpful to remove the #5 splash shield if you want to get a good look from below?.
In addition, lifting the front end on jack stands will make removing the splash shield easier and facilitate being able to turn the steering wheel left & right if needed.
Just be careful to remove the splash shield 'push-pins' carefully. It's not complicated, just a lot of rolling around on the ground
Check those metal hose claps. The kind you screw down. I hate that design, and notice they like to leak. It seems like they're screwed down so tightly, that it begins to lift the rubber hosing as it ages, leaving enough of a gap for fluid to leak past it. What I did during my 6 speed swap was just loosen the clamps, move them up or down in a spot that didn't have an indent on the hose from the clamp, then tighten it back down. Maybe add a second clamp, the kind you use pliers on.
