I've been having problems of awful noises coming from the power steering pump as well as always refilling it. Believe the pump itself is just fine, there are a couple of places where it seems to be leaking and I just want yall's two cents since I'm new working on cars. I think it is the high pressure hose (top one) that is causing everything. Would you guys recommend a full pump replacement or getting a new gasket and testing it? I've included some pictures, any feedback is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

You may be leaking from the p/s rack seals. Many times the fluid leaks into and fills up the rubber boots without leaking visibly. Some folks pull the boot back to check, others poke a tiny hole in the bottom of the boot to see if fluid is trapped inside. If it is, the rack will either need replaced or rebuilt.

An easy thing to do (and eliminate) is to replace the o-ring on the inlet side. With any luck, that will fix your issue.
