Where is it leaking? If it is a hose, the most common leak, you can't seal it, you replace it. You need a mechanic to look at it if you can't tell where the fluid is going. There are about 100 places for a leak to occur, depending on your car. It can be a control valve, which you would have to replace. You can try Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak first, if it is not a hose.

There are products you can buy to seal it. Just go to an Autozone or Advance Auto parts and look at the section where the power steering fluid is at. But most likely its going to start leaking again if you do seal it with whichever one. Best thing to do instead of spending all the money in trying to stop the leak, go get it checked out to see if its the power steering pump thats leaking or if its the rack-and-pinion that is leaking. Which ever one it is, its cost effective to replace it.

yes, you can go to any auto parts store and buy power steering fluid sealer, but all this will do is cause the seals in the system to swell, so if your leak is a seal, this might slow it down a little. however if your leak is a hose or a metal fitting or any seal but rubber, it won`t do much good good luck

no you should find the leak and replace the part most times its just a hose. Usually you can find a hose manufacture to build a hose for cheaper than buying one from the parts store or the dealer. Like the Parker store for example.

I would not put power steering additive to stop leaking, because it will clog up the fine orifice in the pumps and rack, it will cause more damage than good. Either get it fixed or keep adding fluid.
