Seal Kit vs New pump for Power Steering

[charsmith]

Hey all, I've been nursing my power steering for the past year by adding fluid whenever it get's really noisy. It's starting to get ridiculous now that I have to fill the reservoir once a week and there is a pool of fluid on the floor of my garage.

I know there are seal kits available to rebuild the pump, but is it worth it to use them? I think I could do it (I work in the Hydraulics industry), I just don't know if the internals will last much longer.

I have a '91 3S-FE with ~150K miles.

Thanks

Is it leaking from the pump or is it at a joint or high pressure hose? I personally would just get a new pump/second hand one as i would be too lazy to take it apart lol.

If you want to put the seal kit, the Factory service manual has great instructions as well as a few pics to help you out.
