Not what you'd like to see, but try adjusting it first -- it'll probably 
take a couple attempts to get it right, but not too tight.

Normal for an old steering gear -- use a good grade chassis lube in the 
gear box instead of 90W when you add lube -- thicker won't leak as much 
and will work fine for the purpose, esp when mixed with the old oil left 
in the box.  Just stick the end of the grease gun in the hole and have 
at it..
