Question Leaky power steering pump

Is this a common problem, mine has always leaked, about half a qt per oil change, fluid is everywhere around it, clean it off, take it down the road, back on there, any of yall have this?

I had the same prob. on mine. On mine vibrations caused the line to move, which in turn, caused a o-ring to fail, which in turn slung all the fluid out of it and burnt the pump up. About $500 later, It was good as new, with a new line that had a metal puck attached to it to hold the new line still. BTW, it was lot of fun driving the truck and trailer, fourwheelers, and gear that last 100 miles back to the house with no power steering and no power brakes

Mine leaked as well...though not quite as bad as yours, took it to the Dealer and they replaced the steering pump (under warranty).
