So basically my Z has been leaking power steering fluid in this area but i cant pin point exactly where... Does this area have any seals that could need replacing? I appreciate any help greatly!

That could be a bunch of different things, from what I can see if is your dust boot is torn or missing. You have rubber seals, that the general population cannot do, copper washers, and even a pressure line that could be leaking. Return line is the main culprit for power steering leaks.

You could try cleaning everything off as best you can and then check it in a day or two. Then maybe you can get an idea of where exactly its leaking from (it will be wet again)
