Need help pinpointing the source of this leak!!

After tightening some loose bolts I noticed this leak! I'm going to clean it up and see if it comes back. I'll check also the pcv to make sure it's not blocked!

It looks like 1 of 2 options. 1 easiest power steering pump gasket seeping. 2 leaking from loose intake manifold cover. Cure? make sure that area on top of pump is spotless, side of intake manifold is spotless, no oil or grease anywhere around. Make sure bolts on intake cover are tight to specs. then drive it for a short while then check if nothing visible drive it alittle further. after a day if nothing visible it must have been the intake. Because the powersteering is under pressure and leaks will be visible within 24 hrs. Hope this helps

I have the same problem here.

I wonder is it worth the trouble to replace the gasket at the back of the pump?

Reseal the pump, it looks like the shaft seal is weeping as well as the rear. Make sure the kit comes with the inlet o-ring. Replace the hose clamp.
