Slow P/S leak at pump and at rack/column

2007 TL 107 k miles
Very slow leak.
Leaking at both pump and HP line and at rack/column line connections.
Fluid in tie rod bellows (ruined tie rod)
Previous owner had high pressure line replaced for recall.
Looking for cheap fix as its a slow leak that I can live with for now and probably going to sell within a year
thanks

First 4 pics are leaking o-rings on the PS pump, inlet and outlet. Extremely easy to find info on and to DIY.

Leaking at the rack.... ooofff. Not an easy job, since you gotta drop the subframe to gain access to the rack.

Nevermind on the Lucas. Found this reply on another thread
"Also highly not recommended to use Lucas power steering fix on any Honda/Acura. I had a buddy that had to replace his steering rack because he had that stuff in his RSX. That junk is so thick that once temperatures got well below freezing during our Canadian winter, it just completely blew out the seals."

Im going to check the tightness on the line connections and probably change the O-Rings. Maybe the mechanic who did the recall didnt torque the HP line properly.
