Default Power steering

Can anyone please help! My power steering fluid keeps leaking out of the top of the cap, i've replaced the cap and it now fits tightly yet it still leaks. If a new reservoir is needed any ideas of cost?

Are you sure it is coming out of the top there is a rubber seal on the top cap this may have worn , there is also a rubber o ring in between the resovior pot and the pump housing these are prone to going over time , simple to replace and only cost a couple of pence , there is also one more o ring inside the pump assembley but tis is less likely to go , mine sprung a leak from the earth wire located on the back had to strip pump down and aroldite earth wire seal back in and replaced o rings cost £8 in total including oil . Second hand they can go for around £100 i think although i did locate one for cheaper . worth having another look .
