Make sure the oil is coming from the pump, and not from a loose seal or crimp joint in the pressure line (a few inches down from the pump). Clean the oil, and run the engine while someone turns the wheel from stop to stop, wheels on a little sand or similar material, and watch for the leak.
The oil is under relatively high pressure and will squirt a distance from the source of the leak. Once on the belt, it goes all over. The pump can have some play in the shaft w/o leaking (mine does). Leaks in the lines are much more common than bad pumps, but at 160k miles, it may be time for a new one.
To replace it you need flare nut wrenches in the correct sizes to avoid mutilating the pipe fittings, a new clamp for the return hose, and an o-ring seal for the high pressure line pipe fitting at the pump (from Napa or any part store).
Remanufactured pumps are sometimes available on ebay for a good price.
