Power steering pump

Does anyone have a parts drawing for a 1996 svx lsi power steerig pump assembly.
It is leaking on top of the engine and I assume it is the reservoir to pump seal. The dealership tells me tha their parts drawing calls for (2) o-rings to be used but I only removed 1 from the tank assembly.
Are there supposed to be o-rings for the reservoir bolts?

See several docs in the How-To area, here:
How-To Documents >> Steering System
If you're thinking about rebuilding your pump, let me know. I just did this, and the guide posted there doesn't mention a few steps and tools you really need.

Also see the diagrams on SubaruParts.com:
Power Steering System
also
Oil Pump (exploded diagram of P/S pump itself)
(you'll need to create an account and be logged in for the above links to work).

There's just one O-ring between the tank and the pump. No O-rings or seals for the two bolts that go through the tank. This is the most likely spot to be leaking, and is very easy to replace. Good first thing to try.

The second O-ring the dealer mentioned could be the one at the tip of the high-pressure hose, where it presses into the compression fitting on the side of the P/S pump (on Steering System diagram, reference 34930B, P/N 31260GA050).

I suspected I also had a leak where the low-pressure hose attaches to the tank, so I also replaced the hose clamp there.

Inside the pump are five O-rings, a gasket, and a seal around the shaft.

Thank's, I found the parts diagram in the how to section.
The pump is relatively new, It was replaced about a year ago. I don't think the garage replaced the reservoir seal and that is where it's now leaking.
I replaced all the hoses including the pressure hose ($119.00) I used fuel injection hose for the low pressure side, it should last the remaining life of the car.

I should have! I didn't take out my camera because I thought the existing how-to guide was complete. I also wanted to do the refurb quickly, and knew my hands would be covered in ATF much of the time.

I'm planning to write up an "addendum" guide. I may be able to add a few more P/S pictures when I remove my alternator soon (to replace the knock sensors).
