Ok so it's ME again, been busy being broke for a while.
Anyway, ever since I bought my Jeep I have had a power steering fluid leak, I have tried putting the Lucas power steering fluid stop leak stuff and it didn't work, what should I do? it's getting really annoying having every component underneath the steering box covering in fluid, makes working under there very hard. Is a rebuild kit a good option?
 
First, how long has it been and how many miles/hours have you driven since adding the Lucas PS Stop Leak? It doesn't seal things right away, it takes a little time. And then did you suck out all of the PS fluid from the PS pump reservoir before filling it back up with 100% Stop Leak? That still leaves some PS fluid in the system but that method allows enough Stop Leak to be added to do some good.

it was at least 6 months ago, and no I did not, it was pretty low but not nearly empty.
 
I'd borrow your significant other's turkey baster and use it to suck the reservoir dry and refill it with Lucas Stop Leak which fixed a pretty bad seal leak in my PS system.
