Another coolant leak - please help! 900 1993

Well, my 945 turbo has just developed another coolant leak, and I'm not sure how to proceed. I replaced a leaking radiator, hoses and expansion tank a few months ago. Everything running great 'til today, when I did my routine check and found all coolant gone from the tank, the level just coming up to the top of the hose leading into the tank. Caught it just in time!

The new leak is puzzling - there seems to be a drip coming from somewhere behind the steering pump, and there's fresh coolant puddling at the bottom of the splash pan, right next to the drain hole. It's hard to see exactly where without removing the pan and going in from underneath, which I can't do since I'm on the road right now. Water pump and all visible hoses are fine.

Does anyone know what this could be? Is there a small hose or gasket hanging out behind the p/s pump which has gone bad? Does coolant even run through that area?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions - this is a great site, and I'm trying not to lose my faith in this car after the third problem in as many months!

Many thanks,

Ben
