You'll need to clean it all off - totally dry - to determine the leak source. Also verify if it is power steering fluid, or engine oil. A leak from the valve cover gasket can drip engine oil onto the steering box.

:detective:
 
And if it isn't engine oil, I would vote for the hose connection or the hose itself is weeping. How is your fluid consumption?
 
Ok little update on 1500 mi trip
The sls fluid went down and the only place I see a leak is on top of the steering box
Where can this be from
The front of the sls pump is dry
Thanks
