Stiff/leaky power steering, possible hose to rack connection, Please help? 700

Greetings!

One of my 89 wagons has a stiff steering problem! Upon further investigating i discovered that i have fluid leakage. It appears in drops and not all at once. Also the reservoir appears to be working in conjuction with the pump, because i can hear a whirling sound when i found the reservoir to be empty. Upon fillling it up i noticed a bunch of small air bubbles begining to surface. So do i have a simple hose connection/faulty issue, or worse is it my rack. The steering knuckle, ps pump connections, pulley and belt appear to be ok? I have to locate the direct source of the leakage. What are the typicals in cases such as these? It just happened so i intend on looking into it further, please help! 1989 740 GL wagon(NON-TURBO)8 valve 285,000 miles.
