Leaking manual steering box

On the demon, the area around the adjusting screw on the manual steering box seems to be the source of a very slight leak. it just leaks enough to get things damp and then dirty. the nut around the adjusting screw is nice and tight..is this a common issue? any ideas as to how to fix it?

Hit it with a little brakeclean and dry it off and if you can take it out and put a little rtv on it your good to go.

I'm not sure about RTV, but I would use a thread sealer tape or the same stuff in paste form.

Use teflon tape, less messy.
