6V92 oil leak question

I am trying to identify the part that is leaking oil. It has 2 pressure lines (assuming in/out). It seems pretty easy to access. Is this difficult for a novice to handle? I've done basic work on cars when I was younger so...

Looks like a Vickers pump to me, but let the Detroit owners chime in.

Power steering pump. Not much of a leak, more of a seep. Degrease it until it's spotless. Is it leaking on the ground?

No but there is residue around it and below it. No e on the ground.

With the engine warm, use a $1 dollar tree spray bottle with a diluted solution of the purple de-greaser stuff Walmart sells for about $10 or so for a 2 gallon container. That and a cheap 1 or 2 inch paint brush will only take a few minutes to clean the whole area.

There is a blower bypass fitting right around there so make sure that's not what is seeping.
