Are you sure is the power steering pump that is leaking? My wife's 2000 Caravan was doing that and it turns out that was the power steering pressure line. Just double check before you spand the the money in a new pump. Just my 2 cents.... Good luck!!!

If it the line going into the rack n pinion. 18mm flare or wrench,you may need to drop the LDP pump.
