The proper lubricant is GM part #1052182, it looks like a mix of grease and
rear end lube... Anything much thinner than this will seep around the seal
as you found out. I believe you'll have to remove and disassemble the
steering box to replace the seal, but i'd try the right stuff before i went
that far. The right lubricant may not leak...---wayne
