Lucas power steering oil additive.

All you need to know.  Pour it in when you're really low on fluid.  It may take a couple of bottles, but it works pretty well.  My dad uses it in his tractors.  It's cheaper than replacing seals in hydrolic steering.
I'd put something funny here, but you probably wouldn't get it anyway...

did you whack it on something?
do you have a steering box skid?

You are probably going to need to take it off, and have a seal put in it at one of the hydraulic places in town.
Or, you could send it to Redneck in TX and for about $400 (or less) get the leak fixed & add Hydraulic Assist.
