Dang... she's leaking
Here are some pictures I took today.
Pretty obvious, oil leak and power steering leak. I noticed in those first pictures that there is actually a crack in the bolt hole area, I never torqued that, so I dont know when or how it happened.
Anyway, what exactly would I need for this? Does that crack ruin the entire piece, or would a tight gasket seal stop that leaking?
As for the PS, I have replaced some seals once but the leak started up again. The circled areas seems to be whats leaking. Do I just need a new pump? Would a full seal kit fit it?
Whats the damage folks... what do I do?

Look loke you are leaking oil from timing belt cover, I never seen anything like it. You can buy new cover from aliga. The hose that is leaking can be replaced very easy. You can get power steering hose from any auto store and some clams and take old one and put new one on.

Thanks, thats what I though. Hence the bump on that other thread.
I guess whatever shop did the T-belt last time over torqued the screw...? The car runs find, but leaks a quart of oil a month out of that darn spot.
New cover, new gasket and hopefully I'll be good.
As for the PS, I dont think it is a hose that is leaking. I have already taken it apart, cleaned the valves and replace the metal washer. It seems like the actual bump is leaking just below the resev.

OK, so the crack being on the bolt mount won't cause the leak, and there isn't even oil in it... duh 
I will check the distributor tomorrow morning and update.
Should I still replace the gasket since I will have it open for other repairs?
Could this also be cam or crank seal?
