gear oil goes there but mine leaks so I was thinking grease
that is a great recommendation
I put grease in my a long time ago after it started leaking. It doesnt leak very much anymore. Seems to work fine.

If I knew that everything else inside the steering box was in good shape [so that I wouldn't be postponing a rebuild of something that NEEDED service] I might consider grease as a quick fix.
Then again, it's just SO EASY to replace the sector seal [provided you've got a friend with a good pitman arm puller] there really is NO REASON not to go ahead and change the sector seal, which will stop the leak you are trying to stop with a quick fix.

I replaced the seal on mine, and then filled it w/ gear oil!
Then a while after that I put a 60 PS box on it...

Mine is leaking like crazy.No friends with puller.What kind of grease do i use if i may ask. Just take the top fitting off and pump with grease correct?

you might be able to rent a puller at your local autoparts store. Trust Mark!
