Default Power steering leak

The power steering reservior on my LS1/ RX7 is leaking around the neck that goes into the pump ONLY when the engine is running. Tried putting an O ring around the neck but that didn't help. The reservior seemed to fit snug.
The GM dealer says that nether the reservior nor seal can be bought seperately. Have to buy the whole pump !!!
Any ideas. Anyone had this problem?
Did a search with no luck.
I just can't figure out why it is leaking. It seems if there is pressure building up in the reservior but it leaks even before the fluid gets warm.

Humm, I was looking for power steering stuff on autozone.com a while ago and I was pretty sure that you can get the resvoir and pump separately. Also a seal kit. Check it out - just enter your car as an 02 z28 or something. good luck!
