Suddenly running on 5?

Hello from a newbie Maxima owner with a question.
I have an '89 which has run very well up until this week when the upper power steering hose started leaking right at the top of the hose behind the right wheel well, drenching everything below it with fluid. Now I'm running on five cylinders and looking for a soaked connection or something related to the p/s fluid everywhere. Not very much on the engine itself, just everything from the firewall and down. Any connectors etc. that might be affected by this, or perhaps it's something totally unrelated?
TIA
Kurt
ps I haven't run compression checks or much else, just digging into it.
