Power Steering Fluid Leak

My truck just started leaking power steerig fluid about 2 wks ago, and it seems to come and go. Crawling underneath and having a look, it appears it is coming from the steering gearbox above the pitman arm (I think that's what you call that thing).

Can this seal be sericed/replaced without removing the steering gear, or do you just replace the whole thing?

Could be leaking out the side of the flex line when you turn and running onto the box. Get someone to help you...get them to turn the wheel lock to lock while you watch the area.

Yea, thanks. I should've done that in the first place; cleaned it off good with GUNK spray, and watched for the leak. Getting forgetful in my old age I guess ;-)
