Power Steering leak on steering rack(driver's side) 850


My father rang me a few days back to tell me that he was having issues with the power steering. I took the car in for an oil change today, and noticed that when the car was on the rack that there was a little leak of red(ATF) fluid on the steering rack, that had spilled down on to the tranny. My mechanic sprayed brake cleaner on the area in question, and told me to bring the car back tomorrow, or Friday, so that he could investigate further. I have read that some people have used a power steering sealer lubricant(Lucas or Bar's), and I was wondering if that was a good solution to this particular problem. Thank you one and all
