How about a PS fluid cooler? It may require custom plumbing, if no one has a kit, but it should be simpler than the other options.

Yeah, that would make sense if the PS pump is still OK.
But I can either replace the pump again and install the cooler or simply get rid of the whole troublesome PS assembly alltogether and replace it with something reliable

That's true, I forgot the fact that your pump is toast.

precision chassisworks just put an electri cps pump into a boxster (check out the kpaz subaru conversion thread).

here's a link to how to convert to manual ps:

To finish the story:

I got lucky and my pump was not toast, so I had the leaking PS line replaced and have the LN engineering PS cooler installed, so let's see how this works out this upcoming season
