Unhappy power steering fluid leak

Im guessin this is a pretty common thing, i got a leak on my steering from the steering box thats leaking down all over the pitman arm. Guess its a usual thing when you have larger than stock tires with stock steering. What exactly is it that is leaking? Ive heard some where before it might possibly be the "sector seal"? I dunno, dont know much about it. Just want to know what it is and where i could get this seal or whatever. Hopefully cheap from advance auto or something. Its starting to really irritate me cause ive put it off for awhile now and now its really bad where i have to add fluid to it every day, so id really like to fix it some time this week. Thanks.

I'm not sure about the leak but are you running a longer pitman arm to compensate for a lift?
