power steering pump

Power steering fluid is leaking all over my engine. I have replaced the o-ring and I'm pretty sure thats not the problem. What else could it be? Time to buy a new one or is there a part I could replace?
sorry had to

Have you tried to see where the leak is? May be a hose or sensor and not the pump.

It could be a hose, or a couple of O-Rings in the pressure switch near the other O-Ring. I would clean it up and then see where it is leaking.

The leak seems to be coming from a hose on the left side of the pump. I didn't look too long, but how hard is it to replace that hose? Is there a write up or is it straight forward.. Sorry I'm still learning about engine stuff so be as simple as possible please

it would be fastened on with a hose clamp and you can easily just look at it and see where the other end goes

Should be pretty easy to look and see where the fluid is coming from.

was it leaking before you replaced the "O" ring?
