Drip at Pitman arm shaft usually due to rust/corrosion on shaft that rips up new seal as you're trying to push it on to install in the box. Even if rust scale is removed, it could still have 'pits' and gouges from corrosion that prevent proper seal. Had an axle and machine shop guy grind mine down a bit and put in a round shim which sealed up everything nicely on my 57 steering box.

Good experience with steer and gear but slow , delays last time, and sort of disorganized . Results / work excellent.
Had a hassle with Lares , 600 to rebuild a 57 ps pump?? ( solid gold?) had them send it back . Nothing you can do to a ps pump worth 600. Put in GM Saginaw pump instead . Made brackets .
There is available a custom outlet fitting / regulator that puts out 800 on that Saginaw pump . ( normally 1000) sold to use with mustang rack , often in hot rods . Saginaw pump is bulletproof . 800 psi is for pre 59 300 coaxial ps box . S and G rebuilt several of those for me — not easy . All was good . Brand new Saginaw pump is under 100$.. Small too — fit in front of 392 motor mount ok , need custom hose . Easy .
I still use S and G due to results . Many F boxes . Can firm up box feel a little if you ask . Drip at output pitman shaft is common problem . Gone after rebuild .
