Finally traced the spots on the garage floor upward through the list of suspects (rack, hoses, pump) and it's the pump. Appears to be leaking from the high-pressure fitting (which is as tight as I dare take it), or possibly from the joint between the reservoir and pump casting. I'm reluctant to just get a pump from a wrecking yard as these are usually high mileage and prone to problems of their own.

Does anyone know if a repair kit of seals and O-rings is available? Any other tips? Thanks, all.
