Default Leaky Steering rack

Does anyone know if I can reseal the threaded part of the "yoke adjuster" on my steering rack? Last 2 I've bought from autozone have leaked from there and I'm tired of replacing them.

Im having a brainfart on what area your talking about, do you have a pic? Maybe get a replacment rack from NAPA instead, usually better quality for steering components.

Only reason this would be my 3rd autozone rack is because it has a lifetime warranty . "Hence" why it sucks. Don't have any pictures. I had to search the internet just to find the name of it . lol It's right below the power steering lines on the rack and directly below the oil filter . It adjust steering and pinion depth.

Are you 100% sure its fluid from the steering system and not motor oil dripping down from the filter/oil cooler.
