the only powersteering line running by your bumper on the passenger side is the power steering cooler part which is in front of your oil cooler, basically a metal line that runs horiztonal, loops around, and goes back to the driver's side.
if that somehow popped you'd get a big spray of p/s fluid and your p/s would stop working.

Assuming your car is a turbo model it could also be the oil feed line to your turbo. Like nemesis said be sure never just assume.
