Default Help Needed with 1995 VW Jetta Power Steering Pump (PICS)

In need of some help, the hose going into the power steering pump is basically just sitting in there, no clamp no nothing, it has caused the fluid just to basically drain out at will. There is also no O'RING in it. I for the life of me can not figure out how the metal piece attaches to the power steering pump. I got under the car to troubleshoot and I just pulled it off, nothing was holding it in or anything. It just sat inside the hole and when I pulled it out the rest of the fluid that hadn't leaked out just poured all over the ground, here are some pictures. Any help would be great, I can't find any pictures of a clamp online and my local auto store had no idea. Thank you.

You are missing the clip and the little bolt that holds it to the pump body.
The you will find the bolt hole to the side of it. It could have fallen out.
That is your return line.
Let me see if I can find a pic.

Just looked at a couple of pumps and here is the story.
The above info may not apply to the pump you have.
The pump was changed on later models.
If you remove the pressure hose , 22mm , and then you remove the seat there is what looks like a little ball on the side under the seat.
I have no idea how that type can be removed ,unless you take it to the dealer or improvise with a grinder and jb weld.
In any case you will have to remove the pump to be able to see all this.
If you are planning to change the pump with another one , the you have to also get the pump bracket or the exact pump like you have.
THE 2 DIFFERENT PUMPS USE 2 DIFFERENT BRACKETS.
The bracket i am talking about the the one that pump bolts to and not the mounting bracket .
