Just tightened up steering gear!

My 98 has been leaking PS fluid for about 2 weeks... I have a 4 1/4 turn box and have been planing on swapping it out with a PSC unit once they become available again. Well I figured I would clean things up and find the leak, turns out it was from the adjustment nut so I turned it in about 1/2 turn and tightened it down. No more leaking! and the steering is noticeably tighter. The box has "Reman" stamped on it in yellow but its most likely a dealer or cheapy one... I'll still replace it eventually but its nice to push it further back on the to do list

was it the adj nut with the locking nut on it, or where the steering shaft goes into the box?
