Several years ago I found the floor under the steering box suddenly covered
with oil. After adding the heavy weight
oil several times and the leak (flow?) still happening, I tried using STP
-- didn't drain the old oil out of the box, just
topped up with STP. After a couple of weeks of keeping the box topped up,
the leak stopped and hasn't been a
problem since. I still check it and add a small amount of STP maybe a
couple time a year, so there is still a small
leak, but it's just a random drip rather that a puddle.
The STP isn't hard to put in. Just pour it into an oil can (the
squeeze-handle type) and go to it. I keep the can in
my traveling kit, just in case.
