I just got a 99 270 with twin 4.3l's and no power steering. I filled the reservoir in the starboard power steering pump (port is full) and started engine and took out and came back in 10 minutes and it was empty. I don't see any signs of leakage on the hoses/connectors on the front of engine but can see the fluid in the bilge. Any ideas of what it can be? I plan on having engine running and pour it in reservoir to see if I can see it come out. I am assuming it's coming from behind the engine which is very cramped.
 
One of your lines has likely began to leak. Follow the from the pump. Locate the leak and replace the line.
