Question Power steering resivoir leaking?

I got back from duck hunting this after noon and check my oil when I noticed the feet of my power steering resivoir were wet. I my rig is black, so the oil shows up very well when everything eles is a bit dusty. I opend the lid, which felt nice and snugg. Does the pressure build up so high that it is forcing the oil past the seal?

Seems to me that would be bad.

Here is what I saw:

I believe there is an o-ring between the power steering pump and the reservoir. It may be leaking...

On my 82 cressida, when i replaced the power steering pump, I had to transfer the reservoir from my old pump. I did it but i didn't know at the time what the "little black rubber rings" were for.. heheh

anyways so i started the sucker up and it was leaking from that area...

good luck!
