[s-cars] It's a gusher (aka - my PS pump bites the dust)

[David Cahill]

S-heads:

About 5k miles ago, my PS pump developed a leak at the x-plug. I spent $10,
replaced the x-plug and patted myself on the back. In hindsight, this was
unncessary hubris. Today, on my 6 mile drive to work, I lost about 1/3 of my
mineral oil. It appears to be streaming out the back of the PS pump.

First, how can I tell whether this is caused by a leaky seal or by the
infamous but rare bearing failure? Second, where can I get a rebuild kit?
Thirdly, and most importantly, is there a write-up on rebuilding / replacing
the PS pump?
