I think that is just a stopgap. Better to have the ram rebuilt as that is where the leaks usually occur. Not a big job. I did that to mine a couple of years ago and solved the problem.

The power steering cylinder is easy to remove and rebuild. I purchased the rebuild kit from CASCO.

Since you will have the cylinder off be sure to replace the power steering cylinder bushings too.

Attached are some pictures from when I rebuilt my power steering cylinder.
