I don't know about your year, but the early power steering hoses have an O-ring on the metal fitting that can get damaged. I just bought one for about $8 at the dealer. The description says "high temperature", so your standard auto parts store O-ring may not work.

I had a power steering hose leak where the metal part was swaged onto the rubber part. The only fix in that case is to replace it.

I just went through that i my 93 and replaced the pump.Im sure you could seal it some how but all the trouble to get at it and clean it so a sealer would stick? On my 93 it looks like it is pressed into the pump with some kind of epoxy. Dave
