Hi Benjamin:
I have a fleet of equipment that have hydraulic components, and one of the most regular maintenance tasks is replacing failed or worn components.
Running hydraulic equipment with leaks present is a real safety hazard as the part could fail resulting in hot high pressure fluid being sprayed unrestrained.
Please, do not run the machine until you replace the defective part.
Hopefully there will be a local hydraulic hose shop that can assist you.
Cheers.

Power steering fluid is the only thing the car has resembling hydralic fluid. If you follow the rubber hose all the way around from the pump to the gear box, possibly with the car running and the wheel being turned back and forth by someone while you look, you should find your leak. This is assuming it is powersteering fluid. Check your pump. Is it low? Rubber hose probably turns to steel line somewhere along the path from pump to gearbox, hope that helps ya a touch.

you may need to put a few quarts (2) of trans fluid in it, start it up and see where the leak is from. when its fixed, use DEXRON VI
