Thinks its a pretty common problem. I had that and just changed it for a legacy one with the square tank uptop instead. Think you can do a decent fix, but probably best just getting a 2nd hand unit from Grade A or similar.

There are two seals I believe.. one between resevior and pump and one around the shaft on the pump.
Mine was the resevior one leaking and was a few pence from the dealer I bought the other one too which was about £4.
There is also space for another seal but not sure if it is required or not but I fitted one.. between cradle and resevoir but I think it depends on year as to whether you have the cradle or not.
You shouldn't need to replace the resevoir..
Grade A though are www.gradea-subaru.co.uk

Mine was leaking through the earth wire on the back of the pump ,sealent had perished .Removed pump and resealed earth wire wire Aroldite and used gasket sealer on bottom gasket and replaced resovoir o-ring , topped up with new fluid and now fine cost £8 for bits and fluid second hand pumps can cost £120 and new £200 worth trying to fix it yourself.

You can obtain the manuals via Chris Palmers website here and the power steering pump make up diagram is in the engine section of the manual iirc.
