L3502 Leaking Power Steering Fluid

[Widtfeldt Farm and Ranch]

So my 3502 is leaking power steering fluid at the top of the steering column.
Anybody know how to fix this? Thanks for any help.

If you post some pictures of the steering box, might be able to point you in some direction.

So here are some pictures to further describe my leak issues. The fluid is flowing from the top of the steering column just below the wheel. Any thoughts in how to repair. Thanks.

You really need to pull the whole steering box out, your leak is going to be in the middle of the box not up at the top.

With the steering wheel off, can you shoot us a pic of the top of the steering column looking down at it. Trying to figure out if that is a lip seal in the top of the column.

I'm also wondering if you have a bearing out, causing access movement in the column causing a lip seal to go bad,

So, looking at the top of the column with the wheel off, it looks like a teflon sleeve down the tube. My question is - at the base of the column is three bolts, above those is a locking nut which I can loosen. (See pic #2 above) When loose, should the column above unscrew or will i need to take the three bolts off and take the base off to remove the column, giving me access to the steering shaft and hopefully a bad seal? I hope this makes sense. Also, where can I get a steering box replacement if i have to go that route. Sorry for the barrage of questions. Thanks for the help.
