Just come out to this after removing brake calipers Saturday. Left steering on full lock over night. Can anyone tell me is this a strip down job and replace seals, there's always been a bit of seepage but nothing like this.

Yes as I'm replacing these brackets as they snapped off, but only loosened the 2 bolts not removed as there is a bearing or pin under here so I've been told and to take care when removing bracket?????

you should have placed a jack under the bottom of swivel before slackening those bolts ,the swivel has dropped down leaving a gap between seal and the ball if your lucky it will reseal when you tighten them back up
 
start the bolts then jack it up under the bottom pin, it will need refilling which can be done if you remove top pin and fill till it comes out of level plug hole
 
So should I be supporting this whilst wheels are off as I have front end on axle stands whilst waiting for parts to re do brakes and brackets plus pipes and hoses??????
 
Right ok cheers, I've tighten up and cleaned the area up and placed a drip tray underneath to see if it leaks anymore. Any preference on what to top up with or just go by what haynes suggests if it does, best get one as well....doh
