My '02 TJ started leaking power steering fluid recently. It seems like the
leak is coming from the top seal of the steering gear box.

The local auto parts store has a few brands of regular power steering fluid,
and a couple brands of power steering fluid with the leak preventer/seal
conditioner already in it.

Does anybody have any recommendations (good or bad) for using the power
steering fluid with the stop leak already added?

Your better off fixing the leak than putting crud into the system.

Still under warranty?
