Need help with power steering reservoir overfilling.

Hello guys, my power steering reservoir is overfilling when I turn it on and makes noise for a little bit until the car warms up. I research on it and I been led to believe it is the O-ring on power steering pump inlet joint / or power steering hose O-ring needs to be replaced. I also found mention of build up on the reservoir itself.

Only diy video I have found is of the Acura TL and it does not look the same on the acura RL because the engine is positioned differently on the RL.

Only my car I don't see that attachment the same as the TL, only thing similar looks like it's coming from the back of the car.

Can someone share their experience or tips?

Can the reservoir actually be pulled apart so I can clean the inside?

OK figured some of it out, the first hose connected to the left of the power steering reservoir follow it all the way down, and where it connects, there is an bolt hidden all the way bellow it size 10, can't even see it.

replaced that, still leaking, hard to tell where it is coming from. Once I figure it out time to try again.
