It would be good to know where it's leaking from. Otherwise you could just go ahead & replace EVERYTHING. But that would be excessive.
Rack:
It can leak out from the bearing/seal where the steering column enters the top.
It can leak from the rack boots at each end, where the tie rods come out.
It can leak from any of the tube fittings. I think there were external tubes from the spool valve to the rack, along with the tubes/hoses for the pump & reservoir. These kinda look like flare fittings, but there's an O-ring at each one. Get a whole set of new O-rings since you may have to disconnect several of these.
Pump:
It can leak from the pulley shaft or from either hose.
Reservoir:
Is it cracked?
Low pressure hose:
Check hose clamps at the reservoir & at the pump. I once had a damaged hose where the fluid sorta oozed out the end of the hose at the reservoir.
High pressure hose:
Crimped connection from rubber hose to steel tube.
