Steering box question

About a week and a half ago I had someone (i just didnt have the time and wanted it done) put a red-head steering box in my pickup. About a week after it was installed it started leaking...slowly.Well...christmas night it blew all of the ps fluid onto my father-in-laws driveway after sitting out out all day.

It "blew up" out of, directly above where the pitman arm connects to the box.

My question is: Has this type of thing happened to anybody else or is this a isolated incedent?
