PS leak...NOT the pump
So I repaired the leak in my powersteering pump leak by replacing the gasket...that worked. BUT I still have a leak in the system. The pump is dry, it appears to be in the box. What in the box could leak?

If you can not find the leak, and assuming you have flushed the fluid already, I have used 1/3 bottle of white shepherd before to clear up small leaks. You will want to flush it out again after the leak stops or 300 miles. Whatever comes first. It will thin out the fluid a little, and if you are getting some groaning in your steering, I would swap ASAP.
Best idea is to find the leak and replace the faulty gasket, while making sure all of your components are in good shape and tight. I have found that the tear down of a steering box is so consuming, it is better to just replace, and they aren't cheap.
