Power steering leak

My power steering seems to be fine except it is leaking around the pump. The problem is I don't know where the leak is. Could the leak be just from the o-ring between the reservior and the pump or is that unlikely? Any suggestions on pinpointing the leak would be appreciated.

I have that too, and I just changed my O-Ring and still have the leak.

Re: Power steering leak

Well I changed my o-ring, that fixed the leak.

Well actually I "fitted" the o-ring, as the old one had vanished due to age...
