You might want to consider looking into the Turn 1 power steering pump. It's designed for extreme duty applications and can be ordered with either the stock diameter or an under drive pulley for high RPM applications. Mine has worked perfectly for the last 5 years for both street and HPDE use.

i had the issue, took the reservoir off, and first cleaned everything real good.
i went to a local auto parts store and bought a assortment of various size o rings.
i then chose the closest size replacement. Installed it after putting a small dab of black rtv silicone on the ring and smearing it around. i let it sit overnight, them filled it the next afternoon. no issues since.
