At the risk of being called a hack, you could add a 25/75 % ratio of brake fluid to P/S fluid. The brake fluid swells the seals and slows leaks. Sometimes to the point of stopping them altogether.

:iagree: When I first bought my Charger there were so many little things wrong with it I took some shortcuts until I could afford to fix it correctly. I ran a mix of brake and power steering fluid for 5 years.
