Well if it's an automatic the metal line on the bottom would be your transmission cooling lines. In most cases you are better off replacing the line then trying to patch it. Well if it's metal try JB weld, if it's plastic try some caulking that is impervious to oils and water. Or buy a new pump

I would agree with replacing the pump, years back I put a saginaw off a van on my bronco and never had any trouble with it.
the other leak could be either your tranny cooler lines, power steering pump lines, or even the cooler for your p/s that is on the crossmember. I would say its best just to replace it, as a compression fitting isn't near as good of a fix.
hey FE power guy, I like your taste in cars...

Lookin at around 60 for the p/s pump, and i tend to think the jb weld would hold fine. I'd just clean the surface real well too much sure it sticks.
Might not be the best fix but i think it would work.

Put a splice in the line if thats what it is ...
As for the power steering pump, if it's the reservoir to pump, replace the o-ring!

Muscletruck, Falcon A!! I'd love to see pics of your Falcon. My Dad is obsessed with round body Falcons, so it kinda rubbed off on me. But I still like the land yachts more, no replacement for displacement

With the cooling lines you might get away with cutting out the bad part and putting a rubber line in place. Sometimes it causes other spots to blow through then, that's why I recommend just replacing them.
