I’m guessing it’s leaking via the pump as that’s the only bit I can’t see clearly. Maybe I should take it out and have a look? Is that the best way to see if that’s the root cause?
Id say it's best to check every pipe/connection/component as best you can before removing the pump itself with a view to replacing it.

If the noises stopped when there was enough fluid and the steering felt normal during this time its safe to say the pump is at least functioning correctly. Check the cooler pipe for the power steering at the front of the car (in front of rad) is not leaking too, as well as under the reservoir.
