Default Power steering pump issues

Recently started losing power steering fluid in my 2001 Discover2. No issue with steering just leakage and some noise when fluid got low . Took to shop had new pump belts ect installed . Day one out of shop( picked up after closing ) pump was very noisy until warmed up and then still a bit when turning corner . Now is starting to leak fluid again. Back in shop next week . Steers fine just loud and leaking again . Any advice ?

If its coming from the pump its probably the back.

Take off pump, take off the back, clean the back plate and the mating surface of the pump with brake Kleen. Clean the plastic gasket.
Coat the mating surfaces of the pump and the backing plate with ultra black gasket maker/sealant.
Put backing plate back on.
Do not overtighten these bolts. You will notice, as you tighten the bolts the pump pulley gets harder to turn. I tighten mine until I get a little drag and then let dry.

If its the hoses, the crimped ends could be failing. You will have to fabricate or replace.
