Default power steering reservoir leaking, how to fix?

Soo my power steering started leaking, it only leaks when the engine is on and you turn the wheels back and forth. Its neither the high pressure line or the return line, which leaves it to be either the whole pump assembly or the power steering reservoir. Im hoping it is just the reservoir. It either started leaking after I took it off road(doing donuts/ rock crawling) or after it froze for the first time here. The power steering works fine still, its just leaking

Does anyone know how to get the power steering reservoir off?

Mine is leaking around there also but I dont think its the resevoir. I think its leaking out the shaft of the pump.

Its very easy to take off. It has two clips that basicaly slide on and hold it in place on top of the pump.
You can get a new one of junk yard or ebay search.

My PS reservoir leaked all the time on my old LS1. Replaced the hoses and cap. The leak was still there. Just buy a new pump.
