Jake, i don't generally ever recommend putting snake-oil stuff in a car but for the P/S leak, try topping it off with Lucas power steering stop-leak.

our xterra is dry-rotting/splitting at a lot of P/S hose junction due to over-tightened factory collars causing minor drip leaks. i topped the resivior off with that stuff because, hey, its better than spending $200 on new lines/hoses. sure enough, no problems since, and its not enough stop-leak in the system to make me believe i'm stressing the pump with super thick fluid. i think its got some detergents in it that make the rubber swell which also helps.
