Power Steering Pump Leaking..

I have a noticeable leak from the PS pump though it isn't dripping yet. I want to get it replaced before the leak drain the reservior.

The leak is on the pump itself, checked the hoses and it is dry.

Are there any specific non-OEM pumps recommended by org members and a writeup would help me get prepared for this activity.

Any suggestions would help.

Lot of the Pressure side hose are leaking. Are you sure it's the pump? I thought my pump was leaking too, but it was the hose. BTW the hode is about $130.

Just curious- did you ever flush the power steering fluid?

Actually I do flush every 3 yrs. Drain the reservior and do steering locks and push out old fluid and fill new fluid.
