And yes, I have the same problem: a leak from the bottom of the pump.
Slow and steady.
Just as you described, I'm going to have to remove the PS pump and tensioner simply to get to one bolt (!!!). 8 hour job for a $3 part....what a pain.
Thanks again.

1. Remove radiator and hoses (7mm clips aarg)
2. Note the track of the serpentine belt with a piece of chalk (or a photo)
2. Remove and mark 13 mm bolts (different lengths) using (air tools if possible) 13mm socket and 19mm socket plus a 13mm spanner. remove all pulleys. Note locking bar hole on back of top pulley to counter hold the pulley.
3. Undo steering pump left side bolts 13mm. Push pump to the right.
4. Remove 19mm tensioner bolt. Remove tensioner with shock absorber.
5. If you have cap screws, remove the 4 cap screws (6mm) holding the pump to the block. A long Allen key and a short Allen key on a 1/4 flexible extension bar with a ratchet drive works well.
6. If you have bolts (13mm) I used a spanner on top front, a 1/4 drive socket (13mm) with a wobble end and extension bar and ratchet for the top back and bottom back. Bottom front is easy (relatively).
Practice makes perfect. I can do it in 30 minutes now.
7. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE TOOLS DON'T EVEN TRY THE JOB. SUICIDE WILL BECOME ATTRACTIVE!!http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/images/smilies/mad.gif
