From your pics doesn't seem like your PS hose is leaking. Replace the belt with an OEM belt and see if the noise goes away. Also check the belt tensioner.
Squeal noise from serpentine belt
I have a 2007 Honda Odyssey EXL and currently hearing a squeal noise when I start the van and it's cold. This noise fades away as the vehicle warms up. I was told by a mechanic that my pulley was going bad. I had another mechanic who looked at the van and said the noise is due to oil contacting with the serpentine belt. Oil soaks up a little fluid and if it was the pulley, the noise would stay after warm up. Noise last about a minute to a minute and a half then goes away. I don't heard the noise again as long as the vehicle is warm. My van has a little over 120K and I had a mechanic change the belt last year. Belt seems a little off (see pictures). I am puzzled with which route I should take and any help would be greatly appreciated.

+1 for checking the tensioner. I replaced mine recently and was shocked at how much more effort it took to disengage the tensioner when I went to reinstall the belt. Took two people to reinstall the belt because I had to use both hands on the breaker bar and still could barely get it in position to get the belt on vs one hand removal.
