Can't really tell from the picture where the leak is but I had a leaking pump also. I used Lucas Stop Leak and it actually worked. I had to add the stop leak stuff over a couple of months but its been over a year now and no more leaks. This was my second PS pump and it was aftermarket so I didn't really mind trying out the snake oil stuff on it.

Check your PS high pressure return hose, just had mine fixed at the dealer a few months ago.
