Steering box leak

[smo]

What is likely to be the cause of a leak from the bottom of a power steering box? Is it fixable without replacement?? (this is my replacement!!)

the bottom seal has probably got a nick in the lip or a bit of grit has got in under it.

can't find the same diagram for the power steering one but this shows rhe seals and circlip, not sure you can pull them out rasily with the shaft in place, maybe drill a small hole ahn screw in a self tapper and pull them out?
