Power steering pump leaking

On a 1989 f450 im looking at, the p/s pumps seems to be leaking from where the plastic part of the pump slides over the metal "nose" of the pump. Does this mean I need a new pump or is there something I can do or use to stop it? It will empty the whole reservoir in a minute or so of driving, and it leaks even when not running. See pic for clarification:



thanks

There's a large "O" Ring gasket between the pump and the plastic reservoir.

It comes with the power steering pump seal kit. So that's all you'll need.

E1AZ3B584A .. P/S Pump Seal Kit

MSRP: $10.40 / ftepartsguy.com price: $7.49

The P/S pump seal kit fits dozens of different cars and trucks from 1978 thru today.

Thanks for the part #s. To replace that seal, how do you separate the plastic part from the metal nose?
