Leaking power steering fluid from above pitman arm

Did some mild wheeling the other night and had a fairly hard hit to the passenger side front tire. Once we left the trails I noticed it was pulling to the passenger side. Turning the wheel 2 to 4 inches opposing it got me home, about 30 miles with no issues. Same thing driving it to work this morning. I checked it out tonight and noticed that entire drive side suspension and steering was cover w power steering fluid (PS fluid levels were low but still above the lowest recommended). It looks as if it is leaking out from above the pitman arm. Any solutions or suggestions?
Edit: I should also add that it isn't making any weird sounds and other than the pull to the right, no other steering issues.
Not a current pic, but the area in red is where it is leaking from

Interesting, I have a little dark colored area at the same spot but it has been that way for a while and does not seem to be loosing any fluid from there, but my lines on the passenger side are leaking again like usual.

The pic is not current, it was just to show the leak area. IF I had not refilled the tank, it would have been empty today. Making it two days till it would have drained. I'm probably going to go with a re man'd one. Thanks church
