A small, short screw and some sealant? Assuming that the leak is in the reservoir of course. It works for R/C car fuel tanks...

If you have a pinhole that wasn't put in it by a foreign device- i.e. a pointy rod or such- but it developed on its own- this would indicate the steel is way too porous due to corrosion- so making a repair "to last" ain't likely and it will be time for a new pump soon.

Well if the leak is in the reservoir, isn't the reservoir made of plastic?

Forgive me if I'm wrong, I haven't taken a close look at my power steering pump.
