after spending hrs ripping the ps pump apart, i took out the rear hicas fins or wutever there called. I even took out the round circular part they sit in, so theres just the ****s for the front wheels. I used some re-gasket stuff on the middle and end pieces that come off the pump to see if that would help at all but nothing still. I cranked the bolts that hold the pump together pretty tight and it still wants to leak on me a quit a bit.

What else could be wrong with this damn pump, everywhere i park it, theres fatty spots of ps steering fluid

and i tryed to see if the ka pump and bracket would fit but neither of them line up.
