Default PS leak(draining)

I had a PS leak and started feeling around and had a cracked reservoir and the o rings disintegrated in my fingers when I took it out to replace it. Got everything lined back up and hoses in, so happy! But wait, it still leaks... Now what?

what did ya replace...new reservoir and O-ring on the old pump, or a new pump assembly complete with new reservoir? I just put a new resi on my old pump, re-used the O-ring, had a little leak, but cranked the return line hose clamp down a quarter turn, leak was gone.

Just replaced reservoir and O-rings. I'll double check the return line.
