Ive got some seepage at the top of the power steering box (where the steering shaft goes into). Its not bad, but I can see dark spot (fluid). What are my options.

1) Replace box , where to get new one

2) Fix mine , where to get it fixed

3) leave it be.

Thanks
 
You can buy the seal kits for the box. IIRC its about $25 for the complete set, or you can buy them individually.
 
My burb has been leaking for years. After several years of topping off with fluid that has stop-leak in it, the leak has slowed down a good bit.
 
I just did this on mine. You need snap ring pliers and a screwdriver/hammer. Pull snap ring out remove dust seal and then remove one more seal further in. Once you've done this reinstall the two and new snap ring and you're done. whole thing took me about 25min and I've never done this before. really quite easy.
