Default Power Steering Pump rebuild or replace?

Hey, I've done some searching around, I didn't see a how to thread on the power steering pumps. Was wondering if the seal kit is worth doing on one that's just leaking or if I should just replace it. The seals are running around $17. I'm trying to figure out where it's leaking but I think it's the main input shaft seal on the pump. Just wanted to see if anyone else has gone down this road. Thanks!

Seal kit for what... the pump itself? Lots of us have replaced the entire pump without issues. The only real PITA is getting off the bolts because they're in weird spots (and there's always the ongoing debate as to whether or not you have to take the pulley off before taking the pump off... and the answer is no, you don't, speaking from experience).

I'm having a hard time finding the pump locally, was going to amazon prime the seal kit for the pump but looks like my local napa has a pump so I should be ok. Thanks!
