Problem: Power steering pump is spitting fluid. You can ever so slightly see it spitting as the engine is running. There is fluid caked all down the right side of the engine, and has gotten on my belts too. It's not a huge leak to where I've lost a lot of fluid that's noticeable. Car is steering just fine, but obviously something I need to fix.

Question: Will the whole pump have to be changed, or can you just change the seals inside the pump? I'd love to be able to save the money if I can. I also assume that maybe the belts should be changed out since they have been caked with fluid? Would that possibly start ruining the belts?

Where exactly is fluid leaking from? It could be as simple as replacing a hose. Post pictures.

does the pulley wobble? like ron said post up some pics, it could be the hose cracking and leaking from there.
use some degreaser and clean up all that junk, then see where it is leaking.
