I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, either, but mine was leaking from the top, not the bottom. When I removed the top there was barely any of the gasket remaining. I replaced the gasket with the one from the re-build kit I'd bought, sucked out the old fluid and replaced it, buttoned it back up and the dripping from the box was completely cured. That was some time ago. Still no problems.

However, when I completely rebuilt the front suspension, the new tightness in those components highlighted the fact that I'd been overly cautious in "wanging" the adjust screw on top and had more noticable play in the steering wheel. Not a big deal, but I've had any number of pre-rack & pinion Volvos and have always used this method to take out slack in the steering column, seemingly without issue. Just wanted to see if anyone had a more exact way of doing it before I make this attempt.
