Default Steering Box Leak

Hey guys, After cleaning by driveway of several oil stains i decided to start fixing some of the leaks coming from my 00 Disco. I noticed that the steering box was the source of some leaks, is there a seal kit for that steering box? I noticed some on ebay but was concerned about the quality of the part. Atlantic British does not seam to have any on the website so maybe you guys might know of some other sources. Also which other seals might i need for the steering system, i.e. hoses and o-rings, thanks!

There are a bunch of options here:

On my D1, I just put stop leak in it. It actually worked quite well.

if it is just the sector shaft seal go for it, if you have to re-seal the whole box you might want to do a search first.
Seems like a lot of people have trouble getting these thing to seal after being apart, might be easier just to put used pump in. Don't know what the exact problem is I just remember reading about problems sealing them up.

It just seams to be the shaft seals only, more on the pitman arm seal than anything. How difficult is it to remove the pitman arm? Last one I attempted ended up breaking a snap on brand pitman arm puller.
