Default power steering oil leak

i have a 94 integra RS.

ive have a problem with thin oil splashes under the hood... right above the power steering assembly. i also see some traces of oil on the headlight housing where the outer parts of the light bulb socket is.

i see some signs of oil on the power steering assembly where it meets the hose line. i replaced the o-rings... but its leaking from somewhere and i cant figure it out. my power steering oil level gradually gets lower over time, but it is minor.. and not bad at all. i cant figure out where it would leak at.

Have you got a leak thats allowing air in so as to froth-up the fluid and cause it to overflow the bottle? If it was a pressure leak, you would know all about it!!!

it isnt a pressure leak in the bottle. its above the power steering assembly. the fluid in the bottle is fine.

It may be the pump itself. I had the same thing on my 93 integra- lots of fluid on the hood and all over roughly inline with the pump. Ended up replacing the pump with a clean used pump and this fixed the problem. The used pump ran like $45 from a local yard...

Is it usually the pump that leaks?
