Tim, you really need to know wheather it's the pump or hose/hoses that's causing your problem before you go out and buy a new pump. Good luck with the fix.

If it is your power steering pump I would replace it. If you try and fix it you dont know whether or not it will stay that way. My old Camaro had that problem and it occured while I was driving and the car started to pour out white smoke at first. By the time I got close to home the smoke had turned black and it started to spray power steering fluid all under the hood. When I pulled over and lifted the hood the plug wires had already went up in fire. If it were me I would just replace the pump if that is the problem.
