We do not have a diagram but follow the high pressure hose from the PS pump to the steering gear, clean it off with a pressure washer first and then you can id the leak which will be the high pressure hose I bet..

The gear box is a common problem on this model. That would be the place I would start. A cheap, temporary fix is to go to your local parts store and ask for Lucas Power Steering Stop-Leak. It will buy you some time.

check the pressure switch located on top of the rack and pinion. It will have a wire harness conected to it. It's on the drivers side towards firewal

2005 chevy impala 3.4v6 power steering fluid leaking all over alternater and drive belt, car want hardly run,
Sounds like the high pressure power steering hose is leaking. Check it out and if so replace it along with the low pressure return line. If the lines are not leaking then the power steering pump could be the problem.

Power steering tank wont hold fluid and leaks out beside driver tire
Sounds like a blown power steering line. To confirm, wipe down all surfaces around the power steering unit including the lines. Replace the power steering fluid and start the engine. While 1 person is inside the truck, have them turn the wheel from side to side while another watches the area around the power steering unit paying very close attention around the lines. The high pressure line is the most common cause for leaking fluid. If there's no crack or kink in the line, the issue may be the fitting itself where it connects to the power steering pump. Both parts are pricey but replacing the high pressure line (about $150 at the dealer) is certainly less expensive than replacing the whole power steering unit itself.

Power steering fluid pours out when i crank the car
When you crank the engine, it rotates the pulley on the power steering pump. As the pump spins the fluid passes through the pump, rack and pinion and the high and low pressure lines. The high pressure lines are usually the culprit. The high pressure line can be identified as a metal line going into a rubber hose off of the power steering pump. Have someone crank the engine as you trace the leak. Be sure to wear safety equipment, like safety glasses and gloves to protect yourself from any squirting fluid.

Power steering fluid completly leaked out while driving
sounds like either a high pressure hose or low pressure return line that leaked the fluid. Or the rack and pinion system. Check for oil around the different components by filling it up with the power steering fluid at the pump.

Trying to find my power steering leak< i need a hose diagram
There are only two that go from pump to the rack and pinion. The high pressure hose, which has partial metal line with high pressure hose crimped to it and the return line which is mostly just rubber hose with some regular clamps to hold it to the metal part coming out of the rack and pinion.

Power steering fluid leaking;
Fill it up. Have a helper hold the steering wheel to all the way to the stop while you check for leaks. Especially the high pressure hose.
