Dunno the part number but they're not real cheap, might want to try a wreckers first? Edit: are you sure it's leaking there? It's more common to leak at the top of the power steering pump, possible it could have run down. I know mine was filthy around there but the leak was at the pump, good luck!

i had this in a realy old vc commodore from people removing engines could see oil leaking squerting out lol also seen it from bracket not being secured and a lot of full lock usage (taxis) 1 do this first best to clean up line and tape a rag around the top near pump so oil cant run past and travel down the line ifonly the rag is oily at top may only be a $2.00 fix :ie copper washer behind pressure release valve which is the fitting at the pump common 2 try this next adsolutly amazes me how a pair of visegrips on a pipe fitting (nut) like this and a shifting spanner on the bracket (use braket like a nut to hang on)gets it undone every time 3 better you than me getting things hot helps like runnin car to heat it up its a bugger to work on but thats mecanics
