Defender steering box help

[Farrar]

My steering box has got a slight leak after fitting a new drop arm. Is the fluid in the box the power steering fluid and if so is there a product that could save a repair that can be put in reservoir. Looked at old threads but can't find the answer.it's only damp at the moment but guess it will get worse quickly. Any help appreciated.
