Engine squeak (video) power steering?

Guys, I've had a squeak coming from the engine compartment for about two weeks now. I thought it was probably one of the pulleys, so I replaced them both last night. However, the squeak is still there. The car has 103k miles, and to my knowledge has the original power steering pump. It has a leak from the p/s reservoir, which is why you see the liquid on the ground in the video. The pressure hose is leaking as well, since about 50k miles. I've been topping up the fluid about every 10k miles, when the steering starts to groan.
Where the bracket for the p/s comes close to the pulley, I could barely fit a piece of paper between it. I had to basically jam it through. Do you think thats where the squeak is coming from?
How long can I drive it like this? I dont see any metal shavings anywhere.
Is this definitely coming from that pulley? What do you think?
Thanks,
Rob
