Subject:PS leaking

My '87 Westy was parked for a couple of months awaiting repairs to the
cooling system.  I recently started it up to move it forward one space and
it immediately dumped a large amount of PS fluid.  It left an incredible
mess in my driveway.  I haven't crawled under it yet to look at the source
of the leak, but it appears to be near the ps pump.  I never had it leak a
single drop of ps fluid prior to this.  What is likely to be leaking?  I'm
guessing a hose, because I've read about leaks in the ps hose being a common
problem on older vans.  How much are these hoses to repair or replace?
Could I clamp in a piece of tubing at the leak spot?
