Default Powers steering pump

Okay so I have dealt with all the giant issues I have had. Put in a new oil pump, re did the harmonic balancer, new belt for SC. So NOW the power steering pump is leaking!!! So where do you get a new one? I am so ready to just shoot this car! Anyone had a problem with these going out? I don't know why it is leaking, I am going to try to get it off tomorrow and check it out but want to try and get a ball park of what it will cost worst case I need to replace it!
Thanks

Common problem with LS1s... Powersteering pump leaking. I believe its like fairly cheap at autozone with a core. Like 30 or 40 bucks I believe? I could be wrong. Not a bad idea to get a new feed line (its under a lot of pressure and commonly leaks) Its like $20 for that too.

I would chack it out quick also. Mine had leaked all over my new alternator and killed it. I checked to see where it was leaking and it was the cap for it. Only 23 bucks and it works again.

I'm having the same problem, a few of my hoses seem to be leaking, looks like its leaking out of the power steering hose that comes off the right side of the resovoir (if your facing the front of the car) that goes down into the engine bay, and the drivers side boot seems to be leaking... but seems to have stopped last few days, but have not lost a drop of power steering fluid? lol crazy crap, but lost no oil either or any other fluids, what could this possibly be? also, where can i get a full replacement of hoses that will last for a long time(dont wanna have to change them again) and possibly a power steering pump replacement if thats what i hear whining... (2nd pump i've gone through) is turn ones pump any good? and how about there pulley? any gains? other than stronger than the plastic stock one?
