Power steering pump leakage, what to do?

Hi all,
A few weeks ago, I renewed an old and leaking hose from the power steering and filled the reservoir with the GM #93160548 fluid that my Saab dealership sold me after checking the VIN.
Today, I was not very happy after noticing a few oil drips on our driveway where normally our NG900 is parked. After inspecting what caused the drips, I saw that the steering pump is leaking at the shaft. As we double checked the type of oil that my Saab needs for the power steering, I think the leak is an effect of the pump's age.
I read on the Saab Tech wiki that the pump was originally manufactured by Saginaw Industries and further search on the internet informed me that there are seals available to repair a Saginaw power steering pump.
Do you know if there is also a sealing kit available for the steering pump that is installed on my NG900 (SAAB #4647491) so I can repair the leakage?
Or is it better to buy a new power steering pump? Which one is a good alternative?
Best regards and many thanks in advance for your help.
Dennis
