Power Steering Fluid leak?

I just noticed about all my power steering fluid is gone out of my LT1 swap... I was curious what have some of you used to connect the hose to the psf reservoir? I just used hosed clamps because I didn't think the pressure in the lines would be that high, but is it? I'm gonna take a look at it a bit closer probably tomorrow, but that was just my first thought of where it could be coming from.

Clamps are good enough for the return line, but not the pressure line.
