Power steering delivery pipe leak?

I had noticed one of my power steering pipes running behind the radiator cooling fans was quite rusty especially behind the passenger side fan so I thought I would get in there and clean it up and treat the rust today. However I discovered that behind the drivers side fan there was a film of oil on the pipes and the area below.

Now I am assuming it is the delivery pipe from the pump to the rack that is leaking very slightly at the moment. Obviously I will change it straight away if that is the case. The question is this a known issue or should I be looking for something else leaking. All looks well around the oil tank etc. Most of the oil was to the left of the pic (where I couldn't get the camera).

All thoughts appreciated
