Power Steering Pump Seal...
I am wondering if there is a place to buy the seal between the power steering pump and the vacuum pump? I just replaced my ps pump because it was leaking so bad but it now leaks even more.... Any thoughts or words of advise?

The ps fluid seems to be coming from the seal between the ps pump and vac. pump. Does this suggest the ps pump is bad? It leaked the day i put it in.... bought it at Napa so I thought I would be ok...

Are you sure you are leaking PS fluid? Check to be sure.
If the leak is where you say it is, you're probably leaking engine oil.
I rebuilt my vac pump to take care of all the leaks. I cant think of the company that I bought the kit from off the top of my head but it was about $60 for a kit which came with two sets of seals and a video of how to rebuild it.
I recommend replacing the PS pump while you're at it. I didn't and wish I had, the pump has gotten weaker. Shoulda done it when it was all out.

Thanks. It is ps fluid for sure. I literally just had everything apart 2 weeks ago and replaced the ps pump... My first thought was oil but collected the leak one day to make certain. I would assume if the ps pump is leaking out the shaft it must be bad as like I said before it has done this since the day I installed it....
