power steering leak at steering box adjustment nut (85 300TDT)

i just bought this car and the previous owner alerted me to this power steering fluid leak at the steering box adjustment nut:



Update: Snugging the 19mm nut was all that was needed. No more leak.

he said it's just a drip so he didn't get it fixed - he just topped up the ps fluid every once in a while.

i don't think he tried adjusting or tightening the nut, and i haven't yet either.

could the fix be as simple as tightening the 19mm nut? or is there a seal beneath it that may need replacing? thanks!
