Power Steering Fluid Leak Again

My power steering fluid is leaking again after Acura replaced the pump last year. Has anyone else had power steering problems?

The pumps do have a problem leaking at the backside. The o-rings also leak which do not require replacing the complete pump. I am assuming you have had the power steering recall performed? Take a peek and see if it is actually leaking from the back of the pump or just the o-ring at the top or at the neck that goes to the reservoir.

What's the best way to test where the leak is from? I don't see anything around where the o-ring goes. I can feel around with a papertowel, but the whole area is dirty and the leak is small.
