Power Steering Pump Leaking

I have a 95 max and my power steering pump (PSP) has been leaking fluid for a while now. I tried some of that PSP fluid/stop leak and it seem to slow the leak a little but it still leaks and my car begins to smoke from the bottom of the car.

Does anyone know how much it would be to get my PSP replaced? It looks kind of difficult to do myself. Or any other methods to keep it from leaking?

Every single hose in my power steering system is leaking including the rack itself.

It's not the nicest steering feel in the world but the darn thing just keeps running and it never runs low on PS fluid.

if it's never low then it isn't leaking.
I have a single leak from my PS cooler line, and it runs low every few days.

Whats the best way to remove all the hoses (low and high) on a 95?

I have leaking hoses, but the pump and rack are fine.
