Any good sealer for Power Steering?

I'm leaking power steering fluid. Any good sealers out there? Or is there some hose I should check or an oring? 90 for a used rack, 200 for labor and 45 for alignment is steep right now.

Could it be a bad pump?

I like the lucas stop leak stuff, it'll help.
If it is pourin' out nothing will.

I just checked it. Had someone turn the steering wheel while I looked for leaks. Well I found a spray!! Two pin holes it looks like from a weak or breakage spot. It's the larger hose coming out of the power steering fluid box. Anyone know the name for that hose or can point me to a part number.

I need a temp fix in the morning. Going to home depot. What should I get?

The high pressure side of the power steering system has as much as 1800 pounds of pressure in it. You can't temporarily fix it with anything. You need a new hose. It would be like fixing a brake line with electrical tape, on top of that, power steering fluid is flammable. Don't mess around, fix it right.
