Power steering box leak

Power steering box leak
Hey guys-
I put a new power steering pump and lines in today. After a quick run down the highway I noticed a seep on the top of the box. After removing the pressure line, inspecting the o-ring and cleaning the top of the box real well it appears the seep is come from the cap on the top of the box.
Can this seal be replaced/fixed(hopefully in frame)? I'm not familiar with the assembly of a steering gear but I'd like to stop the leak until I can order a box.
Thanks

hi
i had fluid seep from my box top and it turned out to be a hairline crack in the alu cap !
go to your nearest jy and get one from another truck or jeep or old car , they are the same .
got mine from a jeep !
new seal at the dealer app 25 denero !
also taking off the box is best /easy way to install it and install new seals/ o ring on the stearing input shaft.
also you will now be able to set/ adjust the stearing box , this makes it like new agin !
verry pleased with mine now !
better than new !
take out 4 bolts that hold sway bar support and let it hang down and you have easy acess to the box for removal !
