Power steering leak

My gs400 just recently started leaking power steering fluid from what seems like a little circle insert at the top, can you tighten it up? Or am i crap out of luck and will need a new pump?

I believe that is the pressure release safety valve. I also believe you can get an O-ring kit and reseal it

Just got back from a business trip and the pump I ordered still hasn't arrived, I'm going to take this one off and take it to a rebuild place near me. How difficult is the removal process? Do I have to remove the alternator to get to it?
