What this could be?
If you are lucky, there is a leak where the hoses connect to the reservoir, and the fluid follows the hose towards the pump until it falls to the ground. It's a DIY project to replace the reservoir and reconnect the hoses.
Worst case is the power steering pump has a leak and needs to be replaced, a much bigger job.

The fuel pump is not in the same area as the power steering. But it's possible they may have inadvertently knocked a PS hose loose from it's fitting. That would actually be a good thing, since it should be an easy fix.
This leak is much easier to diagnose when you can inspect from underneath. However, if you can't drive it to a shop because it is too low on PS fluid, and you're not comfortable diagnosing it further yourself, then you may want to have a mobile mechanic visit you.

I don't they should be related since the fuel pump is in the tank (assuming 3.2 gas engine). I don't think they should have been doing anything under the hood, other than maybe connect a gauge to the fuel rail to check the pressure.
If you've never replaced the PS reservoir, you need to do that anyway... it has a built in filter which can only be replaced by replacing the res. Cheap and easy DIY.
