nope. All the P/S pumps looked pretty ratty and hadn't planned or researched anything else so had no idea wtf i was looking at with anything else.
Ended up grabbing a rebuild kit from Power steering parts of Australia up in Mundaring for the massive price of $34.00. They have another 34 kits on shelf. When i pulled it apart all the original orings where flat and hard which im not surprised about given they are 20yrs old. Replaced everything, put it back on the car, bled it up and went for a drive and the leak was worse than before to the point where i had smoke billowing out of the bonnet as the oil had pooled on the headers. Turns out i had misaligned the reservoir lid gasket, problem is with it aligned properly its still leaks slightly as its also aged and flat. The kit didn't come with one of those gaskets and im struggling to find a part number or anything for it atm. For the time being i ran a piece of welding wire around the gasket grove and put the old one back on which has stopped the leak until i find a new gasket. Spewing as i missed the point to point yesterday because of it.
