Default Sterring Box ajusting bolt

I ajusted this bolt, seeing if it will help with the slack in the sterring. it did seem to help, but now its leaking badly, is there anyway to fix it???
Please help

lol hahaha you tried to fix what wasnt broken lol

but for real the old seal in there that has not moved in how many years moved and broke, buy a rebuild kit or a new steering box.

on another note, your website says your an ASE mechanic??? why would you come on here for a simple seal leak. and 60 bucks for an oil change??? lol lol lol

I don't recall what kind of seal was on that when I took my box apart, but my seal kit didn't come with anything for that and mine doesn't leak.

hope your putting royal purple oil in them for that price, taht or you live in a populated area with morons all around you and your capitalising off that lol

out here where i'm at it cost 25 bucks for an oil change and 70 bucks for a brake job with new pads and rotors shaved.

but i do my own crap anyways, dont trust anyone with my rigs.

Did you adjust it right? You have to loosen the bolt with a combination wrench while adjusting the inner screw with a screwdriver, then when you get it where you want it tighten the bolt back down.
