My OH's 2006 SAAB 9-3 (the "1.8T" 2-litre engine) has a leak from the power steering pump. This is the camshaft-driven pump rather than the belt-driven type.

The leak appears to be from around the banjo on the high-pressure side, but from a bit of reading it sounds like it's a common fault and due to an o-ring on the bit the banjo fits into. However, I can't find what O-ring I need to repair. I've got one of those family-packs of nitrile o-rings but I'm loathe to take anything apart without knowing I have the right bit in my hand.

Does anyone know what O-ring I need to do this repair?
Does anyone know what size copper washers I need to replace on the banjo fitting afterwards?
