Power Steering Pump leaking, what to do?

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Well I lost all my power steering fluid. Once I got the car on the lift I noticed that the fluid is coming out from the pump itself. I got the pump out and the gasket is a plastic rubbercoated thing and it appears that the rubber coating seperated from the plastic. I inspected the pump and everything on the inside looks nice and kosher; bearings are tight, shaft has no leak and no unusual wear. I have no means of checking the bypass valve but it doesn't look bad.
So, my question is, does anyone know what usually fails in those pumps? Do I just make a new gasket for it and see if that solves it?
