Pumps rarely fail, but leaks are common at large resevoir to pump hose. It gets hard as a rock and adding an extra hose clamp can squeeze some life out of it. Jim is right on the hard pressure line.
You should also check the bolts that fasten the pump to the pump bracket. There are 3 10mm(?) bolts that like to back out and cause pump vibration eventually leading to big time leaks. You can tighten these bolts with a small socket/ratchet through the holes in the pulley. If you have already lost a bolt, then it is easier to unbolt the pump bracket and the engine mount(support engine) so that you can swing the pump around to get at the back of the pump to replace the bolt(s). if you end up doing this, you will also need a new oring for the hard line junction.
