Default Power Steering?

Hello -

Attached below is a picture from underneath my 1968 Corvette. There is a leak from this area. I'm wondering if anyone knows whether this is a power steering pump/controller. Also, if it is, how hard would it be to replace.

Thanks for any and all help.

In the center of the pic is the power steering control valve. Bottom left is the slave cylinder.

I chased a leak there replacing everything in site short of the valve.

It was the valve leaking through the area where the steering arm bolts. Chevy in their infinite wisdom designed that where the ball joint and the valve passes through.
