If you can,wipe all the fluid up then crank up and look,if none comes out,then take a drive and check to see where it's coming from,normally the high pressure hose at the crimp.

Heres the problem the boot is to protect the shaft from dirt, the pipe is to bleed air out, if theres power steering fluid leaking out then the steering rack is bad and needs replacing. the seal on the side of the leak is bad and replacing is the result, by replacing the boot or reclamping it is only going to hold all the leaking oil inside and you will see you will be added power steering fluid. good luck. hope this is helpful.

most likely cause is a union where the flexible pipe joins the metal pipe ,on the power feed side of the system so follow pipe from pump to the steering rack and the high pressure pipe where it goes from metal to rubber is where you will find the leak

Make sure the fluid is full, the power steering also operates the brakes if it has hydro boost brake system, make sure there are no leaks and that its full,it all checks out then you may have a weak power steering pump,

You must look from the power steering pump,then from the pump you will find pipes that run to the steering follow the pipes you must see the leaks.

if it's the low pressure side i'm sure a mechanic can replace just the broken part. if it's the high pressure side, best off just to get a new hose. if not, the hose is likely to leak again on the high pressure hose if the unit isn't replaced.

There is a problem here which is not for the novice repair man. Get to a mechanic and sort this. You risk loosing power steering at speed, for say on the motorway and that could possibly kill you. Your first try failed - leave it to the pros!
