Early type vaccum/ps pump leak???

I have an early 1991 power steering pump and it has been leaking ever since I got the truck. The previous owner had replaced the gasket between the gear housing and pump three times(2 under waranty), I started there. It still leaks. I think that it is leaking at one of the other gasket surfaces, but am having trouble identifing the location. Does anyone have any experience fixing these assemblies? Can I pickup parts anywhere? I know that there is a common fix for the later pumps involving an odd size seal and o-ring, but CRFF said that my pump was an earlier version. Can anyone help? It is the only leak on this truck!

Thanks
Dan
