Lance... I've had problems in the past with power steering pump leaks in my Camaro. The leaking problems started after I began tracking the car. The fluid would over heat and boil on occasion. Over time the excess heat ruined the seals (like David said). I rebuilt my pump with the rebuild kit and it solved the problem. You do have to take the pump apart to replace the shaft seal.
Also-- use a synthetic blend power steering fluid with a higher temperature service capability. I'm running Royal Purple in mine.
