Check to make sure your steering box is'nt wore out. Might be causing your problem.

Hey man, as far as the leak goes, if it is not obviously a leaky line or so, try adding a teaspoon of brake fluid in with the steering fluid. This works a lot of times. It swells the seals. I have done this on a few cars that had bad leaks, and have gotten quite a few extra miles out of them before replacing rack & Pinions, and pumps. Just a suggestion. By the way, it is nice to see another local Florida 3rd Genner out there!
Take care & good luck
Mike
