Steering Box Seal Kit?

I did some thread searching first but came up empty.

Looks like my steering box is starting to leak out the seal where the steering column enters. I have no issues with the steering box, no wander or looseness. I just need a new seal, not a whole new steering box. Is it easy to replace? Is there a seal kit for it? I haven't been able to find any kits or info on replacing those seals. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jasonodsky

You need a new box. The seal on the top only leaks when the shaft wears out the bushing. The seal is just a single lip seal. I will guarantee you have play in the sector shaft.

Can you give some guidance on how to check for the wear you're referring to? I currently feel no issues, looseness, wander, sticking, etc.

Thanks,
