RE: steering box leak
Pitman arm seal, did mine a few monthes back.
Heres the way I did it if I remember it all:
Take off that big nut off right there that all the fluids on
Then you need to pull the pitman arm off the gearbox
Once you do that theres a snap ring inside there, remove it
Easiest way to get the seal out is to start the car and turn the steering wheel all the way to the right or left, kinda push it as far as it can go, have somebody stand and look at it. The seal will come out and fluid will leak everywhere.
Press the new seal in
Put in the snap ring
Put the pitman arn back on, making sure the grooves are lined up right (it can only go on 1 way)
Put the nut you first took off back on.
Thats about it, make sure to fill up your pump with AFT though
