Re: what to use
There is a part at the bottom of the steering box that is modified with a stanchion tube that will reduce your leak considerably. Go to a vendor site and look through the 'steering' category. There is a seal that can be added to the sector housing also. Snyder's will modify your own and send it back to you.
Our coupe has the lower part, the soldered or welded long upward tube. It does not have the seal at the sector housing. I add a few ounces of W600 every 10 days or so to top it up. The car is driven regularly. The sector housing leak runs down the lower chassis rail and down the edge of the splash pan to the middle of the pan onto my drain pan on the floor. I will be upgrading this sector seal in the near future, but its not really a huge hassle to refill. A small wrench and a plastic honey container with the long nose spout works well to add W600 with little or no mess.
I believe you can find John Deere corn head grease on Amazon.
