Steering box leaking :(
So i noticed that my steering box is leaking. Does this mean i need to get a new one, or is there a gasket i can replace or a nut i can tighten? Also if i do get a new one i'm upgrading to the durango one, does anyone have a link to a cheap one? If i buy it off rockauto.com i can get 100 bucks off if i send in my old one but idk if they will be able to know it isn't a durango one, what are your thoughts?

I've decided i'm just going to replace with an oem steering box if i do have to replace it. Still not sure if i should just replace a gasket?

Put about a shot glass full of brake fluid in the power steering fluid, the brake fluid will swell the seals enough to at least slow the leak down. It will buy you some time until you do the swap.
