Tackled the leaky power steering pump today, found that the leak was on the return nipple, somebody in the past had tried to fix the leak by welding it. Ended up disassembling the pump, putting a seal kit into it, glass beading the housing. I then ground off the bad weld job around the return nipple and then braised it. Threw some rattle can semi gloss black on it and reinstalled it. No more leaks in the pump. Getting close to getting it back on the road, tomorrow I'll look at the brakes, then if they check out it is time for some street trials.
