Where is the leak? From one of the hoses? Replace it. From the pump? buy a rebuild kit for $12.00 and rebuild your pump or buy a rebuilt pump for $50.00 and swap it out. From the steering gear box? Remove it and replace the seals or replace it with a rebuilt box.
power steering fluid dumped out what caused this

Well if you have a power steering leak then it means that the gasket is loose from the power steering so to fix this then a new one wll need to be purchased and then the proper tools will be required to install the new gasket.
The cost of a power steering leak repair depends on the leak placement and the car. A filler cap replacement might be 5.00, while a leak causing a steering rack replacement could be 750.00 or more.

Either buy a rebuilt gearbox and replace it, or buy a gearbox rebuild kit and follow the instructions to rebuild it.
