Angry powersteering leaks

Excuse me I'm really ****** with this truck. I have put 75,000 miles on this thing since April, so as you see I don't stay home alot. Power steering fluid all over underneath, I set up an appointment at my local ripoff Dodge no-it-all store. Asked them to please order a pump and have it in stock, so if a pump is bad they have one since I have no time to play this wait game with them. I had it all set up, and brought my truck in as asked, guess what? No appointment, no pump....nothing. Well I shot-the-moon and raged all over the place, service amnager came by, calmed me down and put my truck in, I asked him to jump in the truck and feel it since I also felt the engine was rough. " he says yea, this is not right". Left my truck for 2 days, put the pump in, charged me $300, went round and round why it ran rough, told me it's bad fuel, although I had a sample pulled for them and showed no sign of bad fuel. said since I modified the gastank (with the vent kit) my wanrantee was void. SO, I AM LEFT WITH A TRUCK THAT STILL LEAKS FROM A PS PUMP THAT WAS NOT NEEDED AND ROUGH IDLE TO BOOT. Looks to me like it is leaking from the linkage that ties into the steering (steering box). from the top, can someone tell me what to do here, I am on the road leaking about 1/2 pt of fluid a day. Truck running rough I'll deal with I guess. I'm thinking I am just going to get rid of it after this trip. My 4th Dodge, 2nd 3rd generation and I hate it.
