I had a leak that looked a lot like yours and it turned out to be the o ring between the p/s pump an tank. It looked like it was coming from the steering box because it drips straight down onto it. I removed the tank and replaced the o ring and have had no leaks in 5k miles. Hope this helps and good luck.

I just replaced my gearbox last weekend due to it leaking from the pitman arm shaft. It too was leaking so bad I couldn't drive it. Came on quick too.
