Default 96 SC300 power steering leak

hi,

long time lurker here... bought my sc300 used 2 years ago and now my power steering pump is leaking... not sure if the pump's been replaced before...

is this a common problem? any sc300 owners have issues w/ power steering?

does this problem sound like a rebuild or just replacing some seals?

thanks 4 help
