Power steering pump leak

Power steering pump leak
My sisters classic has developed a power steering pump leak
I know it's the pump because the fluid is below it but I don't know where it's coming from yet
Is there anywhere on these that's common to leak or someway to best see where it's coming from please?
Are you able to buy the parts like gaskets and seals to fix then then?
Thanks in advance
Paul

Clean the area up and see if it is coming from there.

seems like a common problem then. I found it worrying because powersteering fluid is flammable and it drops onto the manifold
The fluid has been leaking whilst the car has been stood for 2+ months so I guess that points to the reservoir. I just washed the engine down the other day to try and avoid any fire if possible.
I'll let everyone know the outcome after I've been to SGT got the "o" ring and fitted it.

Paul,
If you need to replace the reservoir (which you usually do) go for the later model reservoir, as it isn't crimped and doesn't leak. Get one from a breaker is your best bet
