Oil or power steering

I would like you guys opinion on this, i have a car with power steering and i think its leaking but i am kinda having a little trouble if its engine oil or power s. it red and it seems to be all on the left side of the engine bay and doesnt smell like oil and i put a piece of cardborad under the car and its a decent size puddle of fluid on the cardboard let me know what you think and also when i turn the steering wheel theres a a pin size hole in one of the hose the bottom one i have an 88 gxl and when i turn hard in nuetral it squarts out on how far the steering goes i am pretty sure its that but its al over the bottom of the car and its red and doesnt smell like oil. Sorry for this stupid question but i dont want a messed up engine know so let me know what you think

oil isnt red. red is either power steering or tranny fluid. and its on the left side if you are in the car. if its on the other side then i dont know. but it mostly sounds like power steering.
