Steering box puked

[black2door]

So tonight I locked my steering wheel just like any other night because my doors are off. I go back out to get something and see a nice puddle of PS fluid under the steering box. I unlock the wheel and it stops dripping. It was coming from the main seal type thing where the pitman arm attaches. Do you think I have a major problem that needs fixed immediatly or is it just a fluke one time problem (yea right). So im thinking im in need of either a new box or a rebuild of it. Thanks in advance

you should fix it before the bearings go bad in the pump. Try some Lucas power steering fluid in it---if the leak is not too bad it will stop it or at least slow it down (but not completely fix it)
