If it's an Intercooled engine, it's PROBABLY the o-ring between the vacuum pump and the power steering pump.
They are fairly simple to fix, just undo the lower rear bracket on the power steering pump, unscrew the 2 nuts that hold the vacuum pump to the power steering pump, then they slide apart.
The 'O' ring is right there, but I don't recall if it's on the vacuum pump side, or the P/S side.
You SHOULDN'T have to disconnect any lines, but don't quote me on that.

A non-intercooled one is a real PITA to do, as it's all pressed together.
