Power Steering Pump

Power steering pump leaks when temperatures are about 40 or below outside. I have tried everything including replacing the pump (thought it could be the front seal as some fluid was present there) and all o-rings. Has anyone experienced the same issue? If so, where was it leaking? This is getting really annoying as GM engineers conveniently placed a reservoir of fluid directly over the alternator. Any help is appreciated.
