Default Power Steering Fluid Leak...Help!

I inadvertently posted this to the B5 forum, but due to engine size, I think I should have posted it here.....

I have a 2002 3.0 A4 Avant that has begun to rapidly lose power steering fluid. After driving only a short distance and stopping at a light, considerable smoke is pouring up from under the hood (at the windshield) on the passenger side. It's obvious from underneath that fluid is leaking onto the exhaust downpipe on that side, but the source is out of view.

Ideas??

Did you find the source of the leak? Did the hose rupture, or the rack spring a leak? Just curious on the outcome.
