Thumbs up advice on a power steering leak

ive a 95 classic, but there seems to be a little bit of a leak coming from the pot on top of the power steering pump. is there a seel for this. there is three bolts holding the pot to some sort of bracket, is there a seel under this. or would it be better just to get a new system pump, ect.

There's an 'O' ring under the 'pot'. Renew this with one from a Subaru Dealer, and it should sort it

Syringe the fluid out the tank first, then remove any pipes and try and block them off (to stop the excess fluid going evrywhere!)

Undo the bolts at the bottom of the tank, remove, and change the O-ring.

Re-fit, and re-fill.

Job done.
