Power steering stop leak

[v6camrydriver]

Does anyone have any experience using either Nulon or Prestone Power steering fluid with stop leak and would you recommend it?
My car has a slow (1/4 of a cup every 6 months) fluid leak out of one of the steering rack ends and looking for a fix that doesn't involve overhauling the rack.

I had a similar leak. Tried the prestone -did nothing. Tried the Lucas, that stopped it for about a year, now the leak is back and Lucas does nothing for it. Will put a new rack in someday.

1/4 cup every 6 months = suck everything out of the reservoir and refill with lucas. Problem solved.

Well yesterday I replaced the rack boot that had popped due to the fluid build up inside it, cleaned up the mess it had caused and fed through most of a bottle of some stop-leak by removing and refilling the reservoir and running the system each time.
Time will tell if the stop leak works but hopefully this will pass it's warrant in the meantime (once I get some new tires!!).

Cheers for your advice.

Prestone, simply because they didn't have any Lucas, the Nulon stuff wasn't in the right size and I've used other Prestone stuff before and it's been ok.
