steering box

Okay, i guess it was to good to be true, as alot of you know i changed out the factory steering shaft for a Borgeson, well noticed today that around the shaft coming out of the steering box and the underside of it, it was wet, wasn't sure at first if it was fluid or all this dam salt that i haven't had a chance to get off that might have gotten wet. Well washed the truck off earlier tonight and yep the seal is leaking around the shaft itself, anyone have a fix or part number for this, I don't think it was the fact that i knocked the factory pin out of the old steering as much as it was probably the prying i had to do in order to budge the old shaft off the splines.....
Its not pouring or anything or even dripping but its leaking none the less..
