90 weight gear oil is too thin. Try the 600 weight oil sold by all the vendors for use in trans, differential and steering box. Or try Penrite steering box lube sold by Restoration Supply in Escondido, CA. - That stuff will stop your leak!

600w is not 600 weight but a type of oil

Actually most of the restoration houses now sell a 1500w, I use it and it does add nice lubrication.
