Had this on my wife's rig - gm envoy. Ended up with a new rack/pinion - as one of the seals was just done. Not sure the amount of work on our rigs, but likely need a new unit. She was leaking about a quart per week - or 2 trips to town - which ever came first.

Have a mechanic take a look? or head down to a tire/alignment shop for their suggestion.

Get a new one. Only a matter of time before it goes for good. Even the "Stop Leak" stuff you can add to the fluid wont last. You most likely have a torn boot, which can be even more of a headache over time. They're fairly easy to replace.

 

I got my replacement rack from Detroit Axle on ebay. They have a few options, but the rack itself is under $200. A lot cheaper than $300+ at the parts stores.
