Easy... replace it. Done.
Waitaminute.... "Stop leak" ????
I'm thinkin' that's NOT a steering stabilizer. Rather, it's a power steering ram. Post a pic there sparky... let's be clear on what ya got.

A steering stabilizer is like a sealed shock absorber...you can not service it. It if is for sure leaking, its blown a seal, x2 on just replace it.
Look close, I bet the leak is your p/s pump or steering box...tighten ck the p/s lines. If its the input or output seal on the steering box, you can change the seal with the box installed on the truck.
If the truck is 4x4 and (depending on the year it could have either a Garrison or Bendix Power Assist P/S), and if that where its leaking, that's a whole other story

Never, unfortunately. If it works at all, it plugs up the whole dang system.

Not according to THIS THREAD. Serial number Y25209 was still a highboy made in March of '77.
