[V8] [Bulk] P/S, hydraulic pump leaks

[urq]

The pump is the lowest point, so leaks in the hoses will tend to drip at the pump.  I've had to replace two of the hydraulic lines ... both looked to be leaks at the pump ...

Some background, 1990 V8q, 71k miles. Not many miles but still pushing 20 years old. Here is the problem I need the collectives help with. 



The P/S--Hydraulic pump is leaking, No visible leaks at or around the hoses never been touched since Hans torqued them on in DE. No leaks from the 3 screw caps I can see. I think it may be leaking from the shaft seal, down to the A/C compressor, to the ground or blown back to the exhaust and then smokes comes out the lt frt�. The serpentine belt is wet with the oil. 



Of the repair options out there, which one you lean towards, 

1. Buy a rebuilt from local parts store 

2. Re-seal this one and hope it works, ( if its the shaft seal is that part of the kit ) 

3. Send this pump out to a authorized ZF rebuilder 

4. Trade the V8 in on a Peogout, since after Lemans, ALL IS LOST 



Thanks, Bob
