Hello,

First of all you want to find out where is the leak coming from. As you have to add fluid often it must be leaking out somewhere. It can leak from the power steering pump, it can leak from a hose or it can leak at the steering rack.
By finding out where is the leak coming from you will be able to replace the correct part.

Here are some helpful articles on how to replace the pump:

I have attached the power steering pump replacement procedures as well as all the hose locations and replacement.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
